Skookum Rotarians End 2019 with A Giving Tree Meeting
Our last club meeting for 2019 was spent wrapping gifts for less advantaged children at Bordeaux Elementary School. School staff provided information regarding the age, gender and clothing size of their students. Club members and their families shopped for items to bring to our last meeting of the year.
Pictures below show members wrapping gifts which were given to the school for distribution prior to their holiday break. Thank you Linda Gott for managing this project!
Club President Brad Miller awards Jim Morrell his Paul Harris Plus 4 pin. A Paul Harris pin is awarded for a personal contribution to the Rotary Foundation of $1,000. Each additional $1,000 contribution earns an additional Plus pin. Jim's Plus 4 pin means that he has personally donated $5,000 to Rotary's worldwide projects that focus on: disease prevention & treatment; maternal & child health; water & sanitation; economic & community development; basic education & literacy; and peace and conflict resolution.
Congratulations Jim!.jpg)
