Please let us know if you have a preference for who you would like to join you in delivering baskets. You can also contact Tom Cook or Mary Hustad with questions or special requests. 

There is no Noon meeting on Thanksgiving, Nov. 23, so this counts as the official Rotary meeting for that week. Rotarians with regular memberships do not have to pay for lunch at the door. EMRC members, senior active or honorary members will be billed and guests will be charged to the Rotary member $23 for adults, $16 for children under 16. 

Join us for this wonderful event that allows you to give back to those in need during the holidays, and spend time with your fellow Rotarians, family and friends! We'll see you there!
