Helping a Family at Christmas

Here's an opportunity to help out a family in our community this Christmas.  Below is the list of items for the family mentioned at Rotary this morning.  At last night’s Past President’s Meeting it was suggested to share the needs, and ask people to contribute cash or bring items to the Christmas Party this Sunday.
