Gift Card Campaign
Our club is collecting gift cards (Target, local restaurants, Meijer, etc.) for those in need during this holiday season. Beneficiaries include local veterans and students. Please consider donating a gift card or two by November 28. You can bring them to a weekly meeting or get them to Kathy Haye. We will also use the money collected in the cup on November 21 and 28 to purchase additional cards. Thanks in advance for your generosity and holiday spirit!
If you can't make a meeting to drop off gift cards, consider adding gift card expenses to your monthly dues. Just drop Lorna an email at lornatackwell@jdwandassociates.com and let her know the amount you would like to contribute towards the purchase of gift cards. We will take care of the rest.

Let's show Santa our Rotarian spirit by signing up here.
