Please support Jerry McAdow Miles for Rotary. You can make your pledge here: http://mcadowmiles.org/donate-today/ or send me an email with your pledge amount.
This is a voluntary fundraiser within our club. It is our 5th year doing McAdow Miles for Rotary. We raise between $5,000 - $6,000 each year to support our foundation projects.
Jerry has reached 3,000 miles on his bike this year and he has another 500 more to go to hit his mileage goal! We are currently at $3,630 in pledges so far.
Please let me know of any events or special situations in our fellow Rotarians' lives where a card, flowers, or a plant would be appropriate for their situation.
Thanks-

Our club is an Orphan Train Conductor for the TLC Orphanage in South Africa. In that capacity, we have supported the high school education of two of the girls over the last couple years. Thea Jarvis founded the operation many years ago, often taking in babies with HIV/AIDS. Her daughter Pippa is now a key administrator there.

On Tuesday, October 20, we had a new member orientation, during which our new members shared their background, passions, and their hopes and expectations for how they will benefit by joining our club.

See further information at this link.
There will also be lunch, refreshment and fellowship afterwards at the Lazy Oaf Lounge!
