Byesville Rotary members celebrated the
beginning of the holiday season with a covered dish breakfast. Members also brought
gifts for children in kindergarten through 5th grades. The gifts
will be donated to the Meadowbrook Interact Club which has taken responsibility
for the Rolling Hills Angel Tree and to Mid East National Honor society which
has volunteered to provide for children from the Salvation Army Angel Tree program.
The holiday meeting continued with
social hour. As members enjoyed breakfast, names were drawn and club members
received early Christmas gifts. Members Nellie Bichard, Becky Bruner and Tanya
Hitchens were thanked for organizing the breakfast.
Byesville Rotary will be hosting the
club’s annual Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, December 12, at the Stop Nine
Senior Center. Club members will serve breakfast
from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. The breakfast menu is pancakes, eggs, sausage, juice, and coffee.
Tickets are $5.00. Breakfast for children 5 and under is free with the purchase
of an adult breakfast. Pictures with Santa Claus are complementary with the
purchase of a breakfast. Funds raised at
the breakfast will be used by the Rotary to support local service projects.
Jim Vaughan, Breakfast with Santa
committee chair, reported that he still needed several dozen candy canes for
the children attending the breakfast. He added that Mrs. Claus and one of
Santa’s elves will be attending the breakfast this year.
The following weekend on Saturday,
December 19, club members will celebrate Christmas by distributing food baskets
to families in the Rolling Hills School district who have registered with the
club. On Friday, club members will meet to pack the food baskets. This effort
will include collecting and canned goods donated by the students of Rolling
Hills Schools. This is the 29th year the club has provided food
baskets to families who qualify.
