Our guest today is Diane Rigozzi- Van Buren County Senior Services Announcements – We received a note from Sylvia Sperry. Dear Bob and Rotary, your letter was very welcome informing us that Rotary plans to do Open Doors Christmas dinner. We very much hope that there will be an “all clear” as far as using our dining room again. If not, we will still be doing take out. I hope that works for you. Thanks so much for including us again in your holiday plans. Sylvia Sperry, Open Door Coordinator. We Care Island Sit- The We Care island sit in downtown South Haven is by far the biggest fundraiser for the Warm Your Heart campaign. It consists of volunteers standing in the cold weather at the city’s traffic island on Phoenix Street and collecting money from motorists and pedestrians. Donations are targeted for the Heating Assistance Program. This year’s event is February 26th and they have 7 a.m. - 8 a.m., 5-6 p.m. or 6 - 7 p.m. available if Rotary would like to come out and join us. If we choose a time slot then Mary Sue will Co-ordinate the Rotary Volunteers for the chosen hour. We’re looking for recommendations for Education and Service Award of the year, Citizen of the year, club hero and Rotarian of the year. Nomination sforms re available on the front page of our website. These awards are presented at the transition dinner/event that is held at the end of June. The board decides on the citizen of the year and club hero, and acts on recommendations from the scholarship committee for Educator and Service Award of the year. Any feedback on Ice Breaker?
