Members of the Byesville
Rotary Club have volunteered to step in to provide toys to kids in the Rolling
Hills School District. In the past, Byesville Rotary has worked with a second organization
which provided gifts for kids whose families signed up for the Byesville Rotary
Christmas Food Basket program. This year, that organization decided it was
unable to provide gifts to children in the Byesville area. Byesville Rotarians
chose to step in and insure over 80 kids would have gifts for Christmas.
The toy effort was not part
of the club’s budget. Members of the club are working to raise funds to help
support this effort. During the month of December, club members and members of
the Meadowbrook Interact Club will be ringing bells and collecting donations at
the Byesville branches of Peoples Bank and Advantage Bank. Byesville Rotarians
hope that the local community will support their effort. Individuals and
organization can make a donation toward this project by contacting Chuck Fair,
Byesville Rotary President Elect, at 685-2069.
At the December 3 business
meeting, members brought toys to donate to their toys for kids effort. The
Meadowbrook Interact Club has volunteered to wrap the gifts and prepare the
toys for distribution. In addition, Rotary club members have “adopted” individual
kids and committed to insuring the kids have gifts under their trees this
Christmas.
During the business meeting,
club members finalized plans for their annual “Breakfast with Santa.” Funds
raised by this event are used to support club service projects such as the
Christmas food basket and Christmas toys effort.
“Breakfast with Santa” will
be held Saturday, December 21, at the Stop Nine Senior Center in Byesville.
Breakfast will be served 8:30 am through 11:30 am. Pancakes, eggs, sausage,
juice, and coffee will be served. Children under 5 are free. A picture with
Santa is offered with the purchase of breakfast.
The club meets 7:30 am
every Tuesday at the Stop Nine Senior Center at 60313 (GPS use 60299) Southgate
Road, Byesville. Everyone interested in giving back to their community is invited
to join. Call Membership Chair Jim Vaughan, 740-260-2969, to learn more about
the club. More information is available at: www.Byesvillerotary.blogspot.com or https://www.facebook.com/pages/Byesville-Rotary/256548047818283
