ROTARY HOLIDAY SEASON IS HERE!

Dear Rotarians and Friends,

As a neighborhood pharmacist, I go occasionally to give services to homebound customers at their residence. Tony, pictured above, is a lovely person who lives alone and cannot leave her house. I give her all her shots, bring her newspapers from time to time, etc. I have helped her arrange for services such as Meals on Wheels and register with Westside Pacific Villages!

Last week, she was really frustrated with everything and had lost hope. Then she took me to her entrance door to show me her “dead” wreath hanging from last year. She told me “When I look at this wreath and think of those who took time to do it, I feel hope again. I won’t let anyone take it out!” I was happy to learn that it was one of the wreaths we made last year in our club! With her permission, I took her picture and she wanted me to relay her gratitude to our members!

Truly, “Nothing is small when done out of Love.” Most of the time, we don’t see the effects of our actions in Rotary but we are  putting a smile on one face at a time and feeding a hungry person one at a time. The recent “Rise against hunger” event, packaged 36,000 meals! That’s 36,000 smiles and happy tummies. Thank you to each one of you for doing what you do at Rotary day in and day out!

Joe Chehade, President
