For over 10 years, our Rotary Club has served dinner once a month at Re:Center Ministries to a group of men in the addiction recovery program. If you have not volunteered, you will find it a rewarding time well spent helping out some people that are trying to get their lives back in order. If you have volunteered before, we would love to have you join us again.

Our next meal service will be on November 18th at 5:30 p.m. at 757 S Brook St. We normally serve on the 4th Wednesday of each month, but due to the holidays, our November and December dates are earlier.

Let me (Larry.Sloan@yahoo.com or 502-552-3990) or Ginger Wallace (glw2169@gmail.com) know if you can help. Click Read More below for additional details.
