FRC Asks You Think About Helping With School Supplies
Tina Bartleson has asked Rome Exchangites to begin thinking about helping our Family Resource Center Parent Aids purchase school supplies for their client families by donating gift cards.
While school just let out, Tina says it is not too early to start thinking about school supplies since local schools start the first of August.
The very best way you can help is with a gift card from one of our local stores that sells school supplies like Walmart, Staples, etc. With gift cards in hand, the Parent Aids can purchase just what the children need.
Exchange Fellowship
This week please remember these Exchangites in your thoughts and prayers:
Exchangite Bobby Padgett has a blood clot on his heart, but as blood clots go, it is "stable". Doctor wants to restart blood thinners to address this. When they did a scan of his brain to assess the hematomas, they were gone! Progress every day, but still needs prayers for strength.
If you have fellowship information, please let us know. The email addresses are:

Meal Policy Of The Exchange Club Of Rome
Members are encouraged to bring prospective member guests to all regular meetings. The club is most happy to pay for the meals of prospects the first three times they visit, more then that you are required to pay for your guest's meal unless they have submitted an application for membership, in which case the meals will remain at no charge. If you bring a non-prospect guest, someone to just join you for lunch, or if you take out a lunch for anyone that is not a member, you are required to pay for your guest's or takeout meal. The cost of the meal is $10 per meal and must be paid to the Treasurer or other officer at the time of the meeting. Money can also be placed in the Dues Box in the lobby.
On Friday, July 1st, anyone interested in helping to distribute flags on Broad Street between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. should meet in the Frick's Furniture Store Parking Lot located off of E. 1st street behind the store at 5:30 p.m. with Bill King. Please wear Exchange Club apparel.
