YWCA Family Center Dinner Hosting

We're proud to announce a new service opportunity at YWCA Family Center . The YWCA Family Center provides emergency shelter and supportive services and a chance to regroup to families in need. On any given day they serve up to 200 people breakfast and dinner and 75-100 people lunch. In its first year, the Center served more than 2,000 people!

 

The dinner will be funded by the money raised from the T-shirt sale and a matching donation from Rotary. We will set up, serve and clean up the meal.

 

Space is limited as we can take a maximum of 14 volunteers so please get your names in ASAP! If we have a good turnout, we will gladly schedule another date in the future.

Coming soon: Adopt-a-Rotaractor

You asked. We listened.

We heard Rotaractors are interested in pairing with Rotarians for career building, connecting with the community, mentorship and fun… As luck would have it, Rotarians are looking for the same thing!

 

Before the end of January, send an e-mail to Ashley Jakeway and tell her you’re interested in the “Adopt-a-Rotaractor” program. Let her know your career interests (whether it’s the job you have or he job you wish you had) so we can make a good match. Read your monthly newsletter and attend Rotaract events to get updates on the program’s progress and our first event!
