Helping Children

Posted by Pat Ward

Last week, Rotarians and Young Rotarians enjoyed a fun Social event at Booty’s. It was requested that attendees could bring, if they chose, items to be donated to Brandon’s Forever Home. The response was tremendous! Thanks to all who contributed to this voluntary effort. Your kindness and generosity will go a long way to helping with a noble cause. In addition, thank you to Freeland American Legion Post 473 – while they are not a Rotarian, they contributed a very large monetary donation). Items were picked up by Denise Fields, Brandon's Forever Home.

Thanks to the Committee!
