• If you picked up the wrong coat after the meeting Thanksgiving week, please call JANE or BARB REIF.
• Gently used shoes are needed for the orphanage in El Salvador. Please bring yours just like you brought food for the food pantries. LETA KELLEY will collect them.
• JOHN TROTT thanked all the volunteers who worked on the BBQ Chicken Sales fund-raiser. We did not make money, but we didn't lose any either. Most start up ventures would be pleased not to lose money the first year!
• Food Drive: Rotarians are asked to bring staples and canned goods for our monthly food drive on December 5. This month we will help LUM restock their shelves, as they have helped so many in the past months. Patty O'Callaghan, from LUM, has reported that the pantry is depleted and LUM may have to cut supplying families to once a month. So please be generous in your giving this month. If you cannot get canned goods to us, we will accept money for them to buy whatever else is needed.

THANK YOU:

Dear Mrs. Koehler, President, Lafayette Rotary Club

Thank you and the Lafayette Rotary Club for your contribution, which I was able to benefit from personally. Leadership Lafayette is an excellent program for novice and veteran leaders alike. What have been most rewarding for me were the different leadership styles that contribute to the success of the whole plan, creative problem solving that is always useful, and the resources available in the community for people with special needs.

I coordinate two programs for the mentally ill. These programs allow them to integrate into the workforce at a pace that is comfortable for them. However, as a result of employment, their entitlements are affected. The resource of assistance that is available in our community was quite advantageous. I am able to use this information to better serve my clients, staff and community at large. I wanted you to know the impact of your contribution and the lives that are influenced as a result and hope it will make a difference in the future if the opportunity is available again for donations. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude and rest assured that your dollars are at work.

Sincerely,
Joyce Blalock
TE/IPS Grant Coordinator
