NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
November 2021 Social and Service Projects
The start of November has been a great one for RCSE.  On Saturday, November 6th, members braved the rain and cold in order to come together for the November Service Project at America's Second Harvest.  In just two short hours, members were able to assemble 447 boxes of food! That equates to 8.94 pallets.  Each box feeds a family of four for 3 days.  That's quite an impact RCSE has made for our community.  It's opportunities like this that demonstrate the power that each of us can make.  It's 'Service Above Self' come to life!
 
And then on Tuesday, November 9th, there was a gathering at Tubby's Tank House in Thunderbolt for an evening of fun!  It was great to see so many members, spouses, & friends... but best of all, we got to celebrate our friend Gordon with a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday!! Thank you to everyone who has been able to participate in RCSE events over the past week.  
 
Also, don't forget about our ongoing Service Project with Senior Citizens, Inc.  The Service Project committee purchased several hundred Thanksgiving cards and we'll be partnering with the Meals on Wheels program of Senior Citizens, Inc. (SCI) to distribute the cards to homebound and isolated seniors the week of Thanksgiving.  If you have completed your cards, please bring them to the meeting on Friday, November 12th or Friday, November 19th.  
 
Mark your calendar for December 8th for the December Social where we will sing holiday carols at The Tiny House Village.  More details about the event will be forthcoming.  RCSE looks forward to seeing everyone then!  
November 5th, 2021 - Meeting Recap
Although the weather was dreary, fun was still had at the RCSE meeting this past Friday!  RCSE had the chance to welcome back one of our own, Wade Herring, who was re-inducted into the club after a brief hiatus. A Past-President of RCSE, we are delighted to have Wade back with us again!  November is Rotary Foundation Month and our speakers this month will talk about how Rotary Foundation funds are making an impact in the world.  On Friday, fellow Rotarian Marion Curry of the Tifton club spoke about the Uganda Water Project that was made possible in part by Rotary Foundation Funds.
 
Marion and her club along with other USA clubs and Uganda clubs were able to turn $500 into $2500 in order to develop a sustainable water source in Uganda villages.  She has been to Uganda three times and has another trip scheduled in February.  From these trips, the Uganda Water Project has expanded to include education and medical as well.  She and her coalition have provided textbooks to a school of 200 students when they didn't even have one.  The coalition is also fundraising for a mobile healthcare vehicle that will go to various villages rather than having people travel miles and days to get access to healthcare.  The impact the Rotarians have made in several village in Uganda has been incredible and those in attendance really enjoyed seeing the photos and videos of the lives that have been touched by this project.
