An Opportunity for You to be Santa!!

The Beacon is a public-private shelter providing a safe place for people who are experiencing homelessness in the Madison area.  They are open from 8am until 5pm every day providing some food options, showers & restrooms, laundry options and referrals for additional care.  Over 100 people receive help from The Beacon each day.  Let’s give these folks a little Rotary LOVE!!
 
Barry Pace and Mary Van Hout will be collecting items with anticipated delivery in mid-December.  They can accept items or cash (we’ll do the shopping for you!) at Rotary Club meetings until December 16. Contact either of them with questions.
 
Items most needed focus on winter wear.  Any outerwear items are needed. Also men’s new undergarments including briefs, boxers and t-shirts sized L – XXL.   And sox and gloves.
 
Please consider sharing your good fortune with those who are in need.  Spread Holiday Cheer and help our neighbors have a warm winter. 
 
A generous new Rotary member has already contributed these items!!  
 
Thank you, thank you!!

McAdow Miles Team Fundraiser

For years, led on by the powerful calves of Jerry McAdow, several riders have been bicycling together on Saturday mornings for exercise, for companionship, and for the sense of adventure. We’ve asked Club members to support our efforts by pledging dollars to the Rotary Foundation. It’s an important Club fundraiser. We are asking for pledges in the amount of $50, $100, or $250. This is your chance to give a boost to the Foundation’s coffers. We’re gonna ride no matter what!
