We celebrated Christmas early this Tuesday morning. It was “Bring a gift for Secret Santa” Day. We had a huge stack of gifts for the kids.
Business:
We inducted a new member: Becky Armbruster, Assistant Manager at Wal-Mart. Congrats, Becky. If you missed the meeting, be sure to welcome her when you see her.
Bob finalized our plans for completing the annual Christmas Food Basket service project. Members will pack boxes this Friday, November 19, beginning at 7:00am at the Methodist Activity Hall. We have 225 baskets to pack and will be working until we finish. We need all hands to show up.
The baskets will be distributed Saturday, November 20, 7:00-11:00am, to those who have signed up for baskets. Bob needs some of us to be at the Activity Hall at 6:30 since people will begin coming that early. Some of us will need to plan to stay until 12N.
This project is successful because of the support Byesville Rotary gets from the community. Thanks to the students in the Rolling Hills School District, the Mid-East Career and Technology Center--Buffalo Campus for their efforts to collect and donate canned goods to this project. We also appreciate T&J Market, Andrews Produce, the Byesville VFW, Cambridge Packaging, and the many local organizations and individuals that supported this project with their donations.
As part of Rotary International’s literacy initiative, the Byesville club purchases dictionaries for all local third graders. Dan Navicky reported that club members distributed dictionaries last week to 135 students at Brook Elementary, Byesville Elementary, and Secrest Elementary.
The meeting concluded with drawings for some Christmas gifts for the club members. Thanks to Nellie Bichard and Marty Patchen for organizing the gift giving and Christmas cards.
