Thank you all so very much. You responded in a big way by donating money for the Care Bags for Nurses. Because of your generosity, we will be preparing 483 Care Bags. This will enable us to give one to every nurse in the ER and ICU at both hospitals. Each bag will contain several beverages, lotion, lip balm, various snacks and a thank you card. The cards are being prepared by the students at the Boys’ & Girls’ Club of the Wiregrass.  

We will meet on Monday, October 25 to assemble the Care Bags. All of the items will be at WRC and we will meet there at 10:00 a.m.  We need help. It will take more than a few of us to get them finished before our lunch meeting. However, with enough people we can have an efficient assemble line and finish before the meeting.

After Rotary on October 25, we will deliver them to the two hospitals. They are already expecting us after lunch on that day. Anyone that can go is invited to join us. This was a club project so we want as many Rotarians as possible to be there when we drop them off. We will give exact locations for each hospital drop off point at the meeting that day. We expect local media to cover the delivery.
 

Special thanks to my committee for all of their help: Donna Clemmons, Captain Deanne Jones, Katherine Mele, Alan Richards and Pastor Darryl Roberts.  I also want to thank President Sheila Azar for her encouragement and leadership. Without her, this would not have happened.
