Last week our meeting was held at Crestridge Magnet School. Students gave tours to Rotarians, we heard from the Crestridge Ambassadors and the kids sang songs for us.  Around 70 Rotarians attended this fun meeting. Thanks to Judy Cline for setting it up for us!

Last week, one of the District Rotary grants was used by Penny Koenig for HELP Adult Services' Christmas Stocking Project. About 2700 stockings were filled and given to those who are incarcerated. Many of the individuals who receive the Christmas Stocking are then able to give these to their children as a present. Others, well, it is the only gift that they receive during the holidays.  Thank you for your Rotary Foundation donations that make these projects possible as well as those who volunteered.
Congratulations to the officers elected at last week's club assembly!

            Every year, hundreds of thousands of people – children, families and entire communities – benefit from projects funded by The Rotary Foundation.  Its concentration is in six areas of focus:  promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education and growing local economies. 
            In this season of giving your $10 gift can provide bed nets to combat malaria in countries like Uganda and for a donation of $25, it can purchase the necessary school uniform which enables a child to attend school.  Your $50 gift can provide water filters that will combat deadly waterborne diseases in Guatemala, and $85 can purchase purple markers used to mark the pinkie fingers of children who have received the polio vaccine.  $100 can provide a sewing machine used to launch a business in India, and $250 gives mothers living in domestic violence shelters the means to bathe and care for their babies.
            Rotary’s “Doing Good in the World” takes on many projects and tasks that make the world a better place.  Your contribution and support of The Rotary Foundation allows this to happen. 
            Thank you.  Wishing you peace and joy this holiday season and a happy, healthy, New Year. 
 
Please consider joining your fellow Rotarians by becoming a Sustaining Member this year with a $100 donation (or any amount is appreciated!).  You can even donate monthly with as little as $10 per month.  Our goal is 100% participation! First-time donors have the opportunity to get a match from the club so your first $100 toward your Paul Harris Fellowship will be turned into $200.
 
Thank you to those Rotarians who have already made a comittment to support the Rotary Foundation this year! So far we have 99 Rotarians or 50% participation. 100% is our goal!  (If you think you should be on this list, please let us know.  Recent online donations may not be on our report yet so please let us know if you made an online donation.)
