FAMILY OF ROTARY
"Every now and then, I need someone to hold my hand
    and tell me everything will be alright."
To our Rotary family, and to our own families, here's wishing you a holiday of thankfulness and a moment to reflect on the gifts we have been given.  
Share your gifts with those you love.  And help out in the kitchen! 
 
 
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.
