LETTER FROM OUR CLUB PRESIDENT SENT BY EMAIL ON MARCH 18.
Dear Club Member,
Beginning Wednesday, April 7th, 2021, at 7:30 am, we will resume in-person meetings. The Board has had discussions about the best way to ease everyone back into the club over the last quarter. For us to have our breakfast catered, we need to commit to 35 breakfasts, in order to make it viable for the caterer.
We are asking the caterer to provide a breakfast sandwich, fruit bowl and coffee all for only $10.00. This would be added to your account for the last quarter of our Rotary year, for a total of $120.00, ($10.00 per week added to your regular dues). This is a one-time charge. We will charge your account in the last quarter.
We are asking members to reserve your breakfast for the last quarter with Mary O’Neill by email. She will have the breakfast count to pass on to the caterer if we should go over the 35 mark. We will NOT be collecting money at the door for this. It is important that you RSVP with Mary, to get your weekly breakfast ahead of time. Please RSVP by March 31st, 2021.
Mary O’Neill, contact information:

For those of you that will not be joining us in-person, be advised that we will be changing our virtual format. We are retiring the ZOOM meetings and beginning Face-time meetings, via Facebook. We feel that you will get a better idea of what is happening at the meetings and you will be able to hear the meetings better as well.
I would like to thank all you for your patience and support during this challenging year. I look forward to seeing all of you again soon!
HAPPY FEET IS HAPPENING ON MARCH 27, 7AM to 10:30AM AT MC RILEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
Kids need shoes pandemic or no pandemic. The Service Projects Committee worked to bring a plan together and coordinated with area school counselors
so that our club can safely host Happy Feet. This will be for kids from MC Riley, Red Cedar and Bluffton Elementary Schools.
The plan is to distribute the shoes to kids via a car pool line. We will have their shoe sizes in advance so the kids and parents will be able to remain in their cars. Tables will be set up outside by the front entrance to MC Riley Elementary School. School volunteers will be "runners" taking shoes from the display tables to the cars. For everyone's safety, masks will be required and hand sanitizer will be available.
We filled all the volunteer positions for Happy Feet. Thank you to everyone who signed up to volunteer!
For questions and/or concerns please reach out to Jim Evans directly: Cell: 770.335.3524 or email: 22jsevans@gmail.com
MC Riley Elementary School is located at: 200 Burnt Church Rd. Bluffton, 29910
