CALLING ALL CLUBS
During the last several months of 2020 approximately 7 of our district clubs in 2 clusters came together to send new games, CD’s, tapes and puzzles to our Veterans in the Cares unit at our Wade VA hospital in Cleveland to help occupy their time during their medical care.
I spent over 7 weeks at the VA hospital last year, these items were much needed to help them occupy their time with a value of over 700 dollars. With being at the VA, PDG Jack Harig, DGND Julie Brandle and Lynda Farkas made this happen for our Veterans.
Since the new year of 2021 is with us, I am asking all Rotary Clubs in our district to participate and provide these new items to our veterans to help them during their medical confinement and challenging times of Covid 19.
I encourage all clubs to make some contribution either with new items or a financial donation to purchase these items to our Veterans.

The goal that I would like to see is to have 100 percent of our Rotary clubs to participate in someway to support our Veterans. We should never forget that some of our Veterans sacrificed their families and lives for our freedom as United States citizens.
Please remember that due to Covid, all items must be new.
With that let us show our Veterans at Wade Park that we as Rotary support and care about their well being. A special thank you to our clubs who have already supported this effort with the help of PDG Jack, DGND Julie and Lynda.
