SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES
Did you notice there are only 2 MEETINGS in Nov, 2 in Dec, and 2 in January, because of the way the holidays fall?!?  That means to keep your Rotary groove going, you need to add some extra dates to your calendar.  GO PLAY, we say!
Attend something extra, go to work at the Christmas Bureau, or call that Rotary buddy you never seem to see often enough and say, Let's do lunch.

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.
