Kanbe’s Markets Service Project
Saturday, April 25
 
Club volunteers worked at Kanbe’s Markets, a 501(c)3 non-profit, whose mission is to build a more inclusive food system by transforming food loss into food access. Thanks to their work sorting, edible food that had been considered waste was sorted to increase availability of nutritious foods.  For more information about the organization, https://www.kanbesmarkets.org/.

Have You Made Your Annual Donation to the Rotary Foundation?
 
 
As a reminder, Every Rotarian Every Year, is the goal - to have every Rotarian donation something to the Rotary Foundation. Our goal is $100 per member. If you would like to add this to your quarterly dues, please let Mandy know. Or you can write a check or make a donation directory to the Rotary Foundation. Go to https://my.rotary.org/en/donate to make a donation online. 
 
Thank you!
 
Polio Plus Donation
 
Please consider making an impact on Rotary International's fight to cure Polio.  As easy way to do this is to set up a quarterly donation that can be billed on your Club dues invoice.  $25/quarter can make a big impact.  Just let Sara know if you would like to have this start with your next quarter invoice.  Email Sara at oprotaryadmin@gmail.com.
