Alice's Corner 12/11

Wow!! A big THANK YOU to John Zwicfk, family and co-workers for our Holiday Party. A special THANK YOU to Mrs. Claus. It was well attended. Many wearing the holiday colors. Those, such as yours truly, did not read the announcement correctly, were fined for not wearing red.

Erica Petersen, John's granddaughter gave a very insightful talk on the traditions of the fireplace.

Kathleen Neighbors brought a number of her Interact kids. Suelee presented the club with a $250 check. They will use this money to make signs telling us more about their vegetable garden.

Randy, George and myself returned safely from Mexico. George and I have many stories to share with you in January regarding our wonderful Mexican adventures.

Randy's group had a party for over 400 Mexican children. They made sure to have Santa make an appearance.

Harold Burtzloff said that 155 boxes were prepared for the troops. Maeve said it was very heartwarming and insightful to know that a special person would be receiving the box she packed.

Linda Hampton reported that Rawhide Feed and Supply gave a $10,000 fork lift to the food bank. If you need anything in the way of feed and supplies stop by Rawhide Feed and Supply in Catalina or just stop by and say "thank you".

Randy needs a home in March, April and May to house a student in Oro Valley.  By having a home in Oro Valley the student would not have to transfer schools.   Anybody know anyone willing to take on the challenge? They do not necessarily need to be a Rotarian.

Thanks again to everyone, John for the party and Harold for the Boxes for Troops.

Pick up an extra turkey or ham and drop it off at the food bank. We have many more mouths to feed this year. We have much to be thankful for this year. Show it by giving to others.
