Greetings to all of you Changemakers! I read in the February Rotary magazine that this month is Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention Month. Holger Knaak the Foundation Trustee Chair wrote this, “. . .a perfect time to reflect on The Rotary Foundation’s mission to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace. Whether improving health, supporting education, or alleviating poverty, peace is at the heart of everything Rotary does.” Please consider making an annual donation to the foundation.
Please join us for our February 6th, monthly meeting at 7:30 am for fellowship and the business meeting from 8:00-9:00. Rita has invited Gary Eldred, the Prairie Enthusiast, and author of the book Healing Wounds: Giving Back to Nature to speak to us. Our March speaker is Ben Stanger, CEO and founder of Green Box Compost.
Surprise! We are open for business through the winter now because our new home is HEATED! (In case you haven't visited us yet, it's also worth noting that we have 2 pristine bathrooms.)
This message is going out to all of our former volunteers and the organizations that regularly support us with group packings. To these organizations (e.g. Pres House, UW Physics, Baker Tilly, Promega, Epic, Rotaract Club), please think about setting a date for a group packing and contact me.
We have only 8-10 pallets left to reach our goal of 26-28 pallets for a truck load, so we can use all hands on deck! It's a great thing to do when it's so cold outside that we're getting cabin fever.
Please let me know if you can join us on Saturday, January 31 from 10-12 at 2109 Commercial Avenue.
