FAMILY OF ROTARY
"Every now and then, I need someone to hold my hand
    and tell me everything will be alright."
 
Sometimes life as we know it throws up a challenge, a downturn, or a new leaf.  
We have cards, balloons, and flowers. We honor requests for food trains, phone calls, and even simple requests to be left alone.  
Let us know who needs a hug, a roasted chicken, or a good book left on the doorstep. Notify carolwattsks@gmail.com.
