With their Capital Campaign they will be able to expand their services beyond the current 21 homeless they servie (sometimes over flowing to mats on the floor of the nursery. After extensive surveys of the business and community leaders in became effident tht the servies provided by Salvaltrion Army were VERY much needed.

Please take the time to check out the 6270 Conference website as it is very easy to navigate. As I write this our club only has 2 Rotarians and 2 Guests for the event. The registration is only $50 and that includes your Spouse/ Significant other. Quite the bargain for a weekend with fellow Rotarians. We have a 15 minute presentation on our annual Lobster Boil on that Saturday 5/15 at 3pm along with a table in the lobby for the entire weekend to brag about our club and the Lobster Boil. I would like to set up a schedule prior to the event to see if we can staff the table as much as possible. I am also looking for a couple volunteers to help with the presentation we will be doing. Thanks for your time as it is always appreciated.
