CLUB NEWS & EVENTS
SERVICE PROJECT: Akron Canton Food Bank 8/23- Responses needed by 8/18!
It is time again to sign up to volunteer for the Akron Canton Regional Food Bank service project!
 
I am looking for volunteers (spouses and friends are welcome; they just need to signup for volunteering with ACRFB!) for Wednesday, August 23 from 4:30pm to 6:30pm at the Akron location which is located at 350 Opportunity Parkway, Akron, OH 44307.  After the food bank service project anyone is welcome to join me in going out to dinner for more social time at a downtown Akron restaurant to be determined later.  
 
The service project involves breaking down large containers of food into smaller portions for redistribution to area food pantries.  The two hours flies by as we all have fun with the project and we get the opportunity to work with our fellow Rotarians and strengthen our friendships and maybe meet a few new people from other organizations/companies that are there volunteering as well.    
 
IF YOU HAVE NOT VOLUNTEERED BEFORE AT THE FOOD BANK THEN I NEED YOU TO REGISTER.  See volunteer application link below. 
If you have any questions please call or text me at 330-714-1044.
 
I need a head count by noon this Friday 18th, so if you would please let me know by then if you plan on attending by sending me an email or text:  dhall@preferredlegacy.com or 330-714-1044.  I would greatly appreciate it!
 
Thank you for volunteering!
