The Friendship Committee needs your help

Do you know of any Rotarians who may be ill?

One of the functions of the Friendship Committee is to reach out to Rotarians who are confined to their home, the hospital, a rehab unit or nursing home due to a sustained illness. We have found that they really appreciate hearing from fellow Rotarians, whether with a card, a call or a visit. But we need your help. We can only make contact with those Rotarians who have been brought to our attention. So, if you hear about someone who should be contacted, please don't assume we know. You could be the only one who knows.

Please contact Myrna at 546-7435 x201 or myrna@rochesterrotary.org to convey the information.

Thank You
