Barbara Conner, above, took over the organization of our sponsorship of the Red Cross blood drive this year. It was held on Tuesday at the Malta Community Center. Several other Rotarians helped out, and at least three, including Barbara, Steve Ames and Miles Cornthwaite, donated blood themselves.
At Thursday's business meeting, we voted to donate $1,000 to ShelterBox, a Rotary-connected charity, in response to the recent hurricane in Haiti. We also voted to donate $200 to the food pantry at the Malta Community Center (which happens to be named after one of our members, David Meager).
Tomorrow, Saturday, we are having a breakfast and lunch fund-raiser at that same community center (located on Bayberry Drive west of Route 9), providing food service for the Town of Malta Arts, Crafts and Gift Fair. Admission is free, so stop by, say hello, and pay a modest price for a good cause to get something to eat.
