Food Collection Program
Remember those in need and bring canned goods either to meeting or to Avie's Ski/Sport by month's end. These items will be distributed to The Jonnycake Center of Westerly and the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center.
Club Home - We are meeting at The Frank Olean Center next to Rotary Park, Monday, 5:30pm. Gina & Angie will send the sandwich/salad menu on or about Wednesday for the next Monday meeting; respond to them at gbrancato@navigantcu.org and aswain@navigantcu.org by Sunday Noon. If you don't receive a reply within 24 hours, please contact them again. Please respond whether ordering or not as it will help us to know how many will be attending meeting.
Covid Aid Goes On....
18 Mar 2024 marked four years that our Club "had been making food and health item deliveries to area residents who are elderly, infirm, or without transportation. Although the pace has slowed a bit, the need is still great." Rona reports that 343 deliveries, as of 17 February, have been made since the program began in 2020.

New Projects
Also in process is the Brick Walk at Rotary Park. We have partnered with an organization called Bricks R Us. The committee met 15 January to outline a plan - a brick walk pathway from parking lot to entrance of Children's Garden - about 900 bricks. Website to purchase: bricksrus.com/donorsite/rotaryclubofwesterly and brochures are available from Club members and at member stores. We hope to have enough sold bricks to complete installation in October.
