At today’s meeting Sandy White Shield and Rene Sorenson received their Rotary coins awarded by President JenniferRollins last week as part of her Presidential 12.
The membership contest has come to a close. Although we have lost members this year through moves and life events we have brought in over 10% of our total in new members. The women won! Get planning that victory party men!!
Our speaker today was Lisa Allison with the Cornerstone Rescue Mission. They provide a soup kitchen, emergency shelter, veterans wing with 14 beds, and prison transition. There is also a women’s & children’s home with 68 beds in a different part of town along with a thrift store that will gladly take your donations. Cornerstone works with the motivated homeless to assist in getting back on track. Shelter occupants have 30 days to find a job with help and get assistance with life skills. Cornerstone is always in need of volunteers to cook and/or serve lunch and dinner meals. They are funded by community donations and receive no state or federal funding. If you would like to help, or learn more go to cornerstone mission.org.
Our club has been collecting toiletries for the shelter residents and they were presented to Lisa today.
