| Thank you's from the Community: |
|
|
For the next couple of weeks, this corner will be dedicated to Thank you notes the community has sent us for the service and donations of our club.
From Casselberry Elementary School:
Thank you so much for your generous donation to our school. We will use the funds to purchase Wal-Mart gift cards for our needy families to use when they can't find what they need in our food pantry and clothes closet.
Rotary has been very generous to us and we are extremely grateful. We have been able to take our children fishing, purchase food for the pantry, purchase gas and clothes cards for our needy. Without your support, we wouldn't be able to offer nearly as much to those in need. Thank you for helping us promote healthy families in our community and a positive learning experience in our school.
