2024 Tree Watering- Alan Powell is looking to establish teams for watering the trees next year. Volunteers with trucks to pull the watering tank as well as general watering help is needed. Teams will be able to set up watering times that work with their schedules. Matching funds for the purchase of the trees requires the trees to be watered for 2 years. This is a joint effort with the City, Lions and the Isaac Walton League.

Rotary Rush is on! Check your Emails to double your support to the Rotary Foundation - For the months of December (2023), January (2024), and February (2024) only, a generous donor is offering to match each dollar donated with an additional PHF point to help a member reach their first (or additional) PHF recognition. However, to qualify, your donation plus the point-match must get you to the next PHF level (next $1,000 level). In other words, for every $1.00 given 1 point will also be donated in your name. A $100 minimum cash gift is required by TRF to begin this match process, and we have set a $500 maximum donation eligible for up to a maximum 500 matching points. Any additional points (up to 500) will count towards your next level).
-
Sign up for your meals! We continue to ask our members to sign up for meals each week to help us control food waste and membership costs. The weekly menus are also shown on the sheet. Please be sure to sign up by noon on Fridays!
Not sure if you will make it? It is better to put your name on the list by noon Friday and take it off later if needed. We need to give an accurate count to Dave's so we have enough meals for our members and guests.
