It’s time for the big year-end push!!
Rotary Reads and Rotary Cares needs you to save these dates
Here’s where we’ve been:
We received two semi loads of Clorox Wipes free of charge (74 pallets each containing 225 cases). Since that time, we have distributed 50 or more of these pallets to nonprofits and many of the local school districts.
And, Christmas is coming!!!! We continue to accumulate books, household products, clothes, toys, etc. for the Johnson County Christmas Bureau as well as other nonprofits. We will make our annual donation of at least 50 pallets of products to the Christmas Bureau as well as being generous to other.
But here’s where we’re going!
Monday, Nov. 7, the Overland Park Rotary will provide 22,000 books to the five high schools in the Kansas City, Kansas School District and Center High School. This will require volunteers for:
