President Robin would love to see more members volunteering in our Service Saturdays, and there is work to be done everywhere. The Rotary theme for September will be "Basic Education and Literacy". For service related actions, consider donating books to a school libraary, perhaps one that was flooded during Hurricane Harvey, or collect books for Books for the World to be shipped to countries around the world. We will hold a work party at President Robin Charlesworth's house on September 29th. Let's gather at 10:00 am for a Fundraising Committee meeting about future fundraising for the club, and then begin sorting books. Additionally, we have members who are collecting shoes (tennis) for Venezuelan refugees escaping to Columbia. This can be accomplished by any Rotarians by placing the shoes in a gallon plastic baggie labeled with the sizes and shipped directly to: Restaurant Rodizio, Avenida Libertadores #10-121, Malecon Second Stage, Cucuta, Columbia.
Or bring the shoes to this Service Saturday and will will box them and prepare them for shipping at no cost to Rotary (that is, your own money).
Please rsvp: 970-880-0960 to Robin Charlesworth, President
Be the inspiration!
