This past weekend we had a very successful fundraiser. Along with playing bingo and having a silent auction we enjoyed great tasting Brazilian and Turkish food. While listening to Brazilian music, we had a great time with Rotarians, Rotaracts, and family, friends both new and old. The funds raised go to scholarships for Nicaraguan Children of the Dump and to support research for helping find a cure for Malaria. The world over, fellow Rotarians, join together to combat hunger, provide educational opportunities and stamp out diseases. It is a happy thought to think that countless children in the world will never experience the ravages of polio or other diseases. The children and their families have access to drinking water and portable solar ovens to cook their food. The children will enjoy getting lost in a fascinating story while reading their first book because of an improved education. There are countless other examples of the great work Rotarians do. Thank you for your contributions to our club to support these programs we are sponsoring. We look forward to our next fundraiser in October. I hear a concert is in the making. See you there.
Yours in Rotary,
Michael Mebes
Club Secretary
