Current Projects
Coins 4 Kids
When filled with your spare change, a Coins 4 Kids carton holds enough to provide lunch for two children in schools near Nairobi, Kenya for a year, helping break the cycle of hunger, illiteracy, and poverty.
Coins 4 Kids is a joint project of International Paper’s charitable foundation and the World Food Program (a UN agency). We have adopted it as an International Service project for 2006-07, in support of an initiative of the Rotary Club of Haddonfield. (A member of the Haddonfield club will match, dollar for dollar, the amount we contribute by November 30, 2006. Let’s wring him dry!)
Family, friends, and associates can participate as well. Extra cartons are available at the Greeter Table.
GSR Board approved two shelter boxes to be sent to Sudan.
Last Week's Speakers
 Our speaker on FutureAct was Gary Knight from the Washington Club.
He began by thanking Tom Veevers for doing a great job on the trip to India in January, 2006. Gary said, “It was the trip of a lifetime”.
FutureAct is designed for middle school students (grades 6th, 7th, and 8th) to give back to others in their community. The following factors were identified as instrumental in creating FutureActs in other districts:
1) An advisor is necessary for every club
2) School board approval is needed
3) Corporate sponsors are most beneficial
4) $250 to $500 seed money to begin
Some of the projects the Washington Twp. Club has been involved with:
MS Walk
Mother Hubbard Cupboard
Cell Phone Drive
Clean Up Day
Coat Donations
Visitations to a Senior Care Center
Next Week's Meeting
