Holiday Party this week - see bulletin for details and to sign up.  
President's Pen
Our last meeting of the 2021 is coming up this week.  I cannot believe 2021 is coming to an end and the Rotary year is half over!
 
We are ending it with a bang! At our last meeting in November, we decided to not only continue to support Project Wee Care this year, but that we should also support a Food Drive.  The original proposal was to bring a food donation equal to the amount of your white elephant gift exchange, but any donation is welcome.  See the story below for more details on both of these service projects.
 
If you can't attend this meeting, the ConAgra Foundation is matching donations to Food Bank of the Heartland.  Again, see the story below for details.
 
We are so lucky to be involved in an organization that cares about our community as well as others.  We may be a small club, but we do have the biggest heart.  I hope that you will contribute to these projects as we remember our own blessings this year.  
 
As I said, this is our last meeting of 2021.  We will kick off 2022 back at Vincenzo's on January 4th.  
 
 
See you Tuesday!
 
Gretchen
 
Question of the Week
When does fall end and winter begin?
 
Project Wee Care 2021
We're going to help with Project Wee Care again this year.  However, due to COVID restrictions, we will be limited to cash donations. At our November 16th meeting, we decided that our members could give $300, and that the club will match that amount for a total of $600.  The club has already sent in the check for our total, so we now need you to pay back the club for your donation.  Please bring your check to out November 30 social or to the Holiday Party on December 14th.  If you can't make the meetings, let Gretchen know the amount you want to give and she'll get it collected from you.
 
UPDATE:  Erin Oberhauser's family has matched our $e00, for a total of $975 for doing good in our community.  This amount will provide gifts for 13 families.

Holiday Party 2021
Our annual Holiday Party and White elephant gift giving, with a twist. There a few of you (you know who you are!) that have gone over the $25 gift limit for the gift exchange. So for a twist, we are asking for you to also bring food/canned goods for a food drive equal to the amount of your gift!  How can you pass up a special deal like that?  Use the link to the side to register you and any guests you want to bring.
