Celebrating Our Club's Successes & Future Happenings!

Happy dollars always kick us off on a positive note as members and guests share something they are currently happy about! Today $60 was collected to go towards the Million Meals effort.

With no speaker today, we celebrated all of the amazing efforts that have been happening as well as new ones that are coming up in the future.

THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE

In partnership with Horizon West Cares, we collected food items for the Annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive and Rotary donated gift cards for over 40 baskets that a few of our members also volunteered with Horizon West Cares to assemble and then deliver to EightWaves.

MAXEY ELEMENTARY STUDENT MENTORS NEEDED

Please contact Francisco to get signed up to be a mentor to one our our Maxey Elementary children that are in need of an adult mentor. Half hour a week is all it takes to make a huge difference in the children's lives and our members that have been doing this for several years share over and over how much it actually has enriched their life as well.

Definitely time worth committing to.
