The club’s Rotary Foundation goals are getting closer. We have met the financial goal and are close to getting 100% of Rotarians to give something. An inspiring video highlighting The Foundation’s humanitarian aid globally was shown.
Meghan Burton, who is helping Lisa Norcia-Cheskin with the giving tree project, announced we have roughly 50 gifts given and 50 to go. The remaining tags were handed and many were taken by our generous members, which will make the season bright for those in need locally.

Pledge of Allegiance
Amy gave us an update on the Rotary Foundation Annual Drive. We are at 80% participation and $31,000 total donations. We’re on our way to making our goal of 100% participation and $35,000. Remember any donation, no matter the amount is appreciated. Amy showed us a short video about the clean water projects. This is one of the six areas of the foundation’s focus.
