Toiletries for Millcreek High School! Let's get the school year off to a good start by stocking the toiletries supply closet. As you look around your bathrooms, think to yourselves, if I need this so will they. Hygiene products for the girls are always critical. One item that was mentioned to us by the school is lotion. They said for some reason no one thinks about lotion and in this dry climate it is a need. We will have a representative of Millcreek with us on August 11th to receive our donations. Please be generous as you shop. Just toss in an extra toothpaste or deodorant stick.
And, on August 13th there will be a food distribution at the Red Cliffs Mass from 8:30 to 10:30. Come lend a hand if you ca

Thanks Veterans Club for your service!
As you heard last week, the very disturbing news is that a case of Polio has been detected in New York. Yes, right here in the USA!!!!
As of right now we have no further news on that event. Sandi will share with us any news as it comes.
*Note: our community has an endless number of absolutely critical needs and needs help from our citizens. However, as a Rotary Club we cannot be all things to all people. So only those service opportunities approved by the Board will be listed in this bulletin. If you have project you wish our members to support, please submit your request to President Charlotte prior to the Board Meeting each month. Thank you!
