On February 20th, Rotarians from Suburban, West, and Southwest Rotary Night Club will be packaging 30-40K meals for local food pantries using a matching grant from District 5650. Please go on our website to sign up for a shift. We strongly encourage you to bring friends and family to this event. Your church group, your Scout troop, your kids' friends. We will need 80 people from 8-9 and 80 people from 930-1030 to package all of these meals. People of all ages are welcome. When signing up kids, please note their ages (kids under 12 will work with their parents). Also, if anyone needs to sit instead of stand, please note that in the comments as well. We will accommodate volunteers of all ages/abilities.

The meals will be picked up at the end of 2nd shift by local food pantries. We can also use 8-10 volunteers on Friday, February 19th to help set up this event. Please let Jennifer know if you'd like to help with that.

A big thank you to Walt Horner/Heavy Duty for volunteering his facility for this event!

Need a Make-up?

ATTENDANCE at Suburban Rotary needs to be at 50% of the meetings. Make-ups also count.

ONLINE MAKE-UPS Have you checked this out? If you sometimes find it hard to attend a make-up meeting locally or while out of town, check out the option and opportunity of making up a Rotary meeting 24/7 via the internet.
