Annual Rebuilding Together
Volunteer Day
in Coconut Grove
http://www.rebuildingtogethermiami.org/index.html
When
the choice for families in need to choose between medicine and a roof
over their head, Rebuilding Together steps in to help. Subcontractors volunteer their
goods and services.
RCSM
has helped the last four years…
This
year’s home is owned by Ms. Irina Dingle, age 77 who is caretaker
to her sister who is handicapped and her husband who has Alzheimers. They
have lived in this house for 44 years.
Restaurants
supply breakfast and lunch.
You
can see, when you leave at the end of the day,
that you’ve made a difference.

DID
YOU MISS A MEETING ‘CAUSE YOU WERE AWAY?
Our
club goal is 100% Attendance!
If
you miss a meeting, it can be made-up within 2 weeks, before or after, of
the missed meeting date.
For online make-ups:
http://www.rotary.org/newsroom/downloadcenter/pdfs/eclub_list.pdf
Visit www.rotary6990.org to find a club
to make up an absence. Attendance
credit for a 30-minute interactive club Web site activity offers an
alternative to making up a meeting at another club. To earn this credit,
Rotarians log on to the site, read up on a range of subjects, post
comments, & submit a form to the club secretary.
