It's getting chilly outside - that means it's time for our Holiday Baskets!!
       
It’s that time of year again for our annual holiday basket donation and distribution!  Shoppers will find their list of items below. If you would rather let someone else do the shopping, then provide cash or check (made out to Rotary) for $125 over the next few weeks and give to Anita Perkins or John Spilane. If you choose to shop, bring all your food items the day-of basket assembly and distribution – Saturday, December 8th (less hassle with handling and storage). Please notify Anita in advance if you will be bringing your food on the 8th as we will be counting on it to make all the baskets!
 
We will assemble and pack boxes starting at 9 am at the New Hope City Hall on the 8th, and a light lunch will be served. We will be delivering boxes that day after assembly so get your teams together for deliveries. We’re also looking for help with making-up delivery routes so please lend a hand if you can. Contact Anita Perkins  with any questions, and thank you in advance for your support!

Ever wonder what Rotary is?  We invite you to visit our Club!
Are you an established professional who wants to make positive changes in your community and the world?  Our Club members are awesome!
 
Our 1.2 million-member organization started with the vision of one man - Paul P. Harris.  The Chicago attorney formed one of the world's first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on February 23, 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships.  Rotary's name came from the group's early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member.
 
You are invited to visit us at an upcoming meeting - we meet Friday mornings at 7 a.m. at Frankie's Pizza in New Hope. 

Our Club is involved in our Community
Our Club participated in the Robbinsdale Meet & Greet on September 18:
