Thank you to those who have made their gift. (November 4, 2007)

PROPOSE A NEW MEMBER: Membership is fundamental to achieving the mission and goals of Rotary International and our own Rotary club.  New members are usually introduced to the club by current members.  Have you encountered a friend, neighbor, or business associate who would be an asset to the Rotary Club of Jenkintown?  If so, please provide their name and phone number to a member of the board, and we will tell them about the benefits of membership. (May 1, 2007)

DONATE TO THE FOOD BANK: On the third Tuesday of every month, your Rotary Club collects non-perishable food for contribution to the Jenkintown Food Bank.  Bring in a couple of items from your pantry.  Buy a couple of extra sale items while shopping.  If you have any questions, check with Chris Heaven (215-387-3621).
