Thank you to Rotary Club of Edina members for your generous donations of money, gift cards, toys and clothing for our 30th year of the Holiday Gift Giving Program. Because of your kind hearts and generosity, our club was able to donate 100 gift cards to youth exiting homelessness at 66 West, 60 gift cards to Good in the Hood for their annual Holiday Shop experience for families in need, and boxes and bags of gifts, blankets, and clothing to Simpson Housing Services for homeless families in transition. What joy this club brought to so many during the often trying times of the holidays! A special Thank You to: Paul Mooty for donating items from Faribault Woolen Mill for a live auction at a December club meeting that resulted in the collection of $2,845; Susan Stiles for donation of many boxes of winter jackets, boots, gloves and hats; David Clynes for a significant donation from his family foundation. We are proud to be members of this club and to help with this important annual giving program.
