Local Service Updates Winter 2015

Here are some reminders and a little update on our plans for service for this year.

January:
We are collecting formal prom attire for Cottonwood High students. Please bring anything appropriate to our next Business Meeting (February 5th) and Frank will make sure it gets to the school. 

February:
We are organizing the Sunnyvale Winter Games together with the Rock Rotary Club on Saturday afternoon, February 21st. Our club is responsible for food and drinks for the kids. More information and time to follow as we get closer. Let's hope for some more snow!

March:
On Thursday March 19th at 6-7:30 PM we are taking about 10-15 kids from Sunnyvale Neighborhood Center to the Utah Food Bank for a service project. We need to have at least 3-4 volunteers to accompany the kids. More details on transportation and time to meet will follow.

Family Mentoring:
Judy and I have met with the Promise Office in South Salt Lake to discuss possibilities for a more sustainable and meaningful service plan for our club. Our ongoing projects with Sunnyvale will still continue, but lately it has been difficult to get projects scheduled on a regular basis.

Rachel Sanders, the Family Liaison Manager at the Promise Office, has offered to come to our meeting next week (February 5th) to talk about their family mentoring program. If this is something that interests our club we have been promised that they can find ongoing volunteer opportunities for our members. The program could be designed to suit the different kinds of involvement our members have and Rachel Sanders would provide training for us.

Please plan to attend our business meeting next week as it is important for as many as possible of our members to hear this presentation.

Looking forward to seeing you next week,

Margareta
