March 31 Meeting
Easter Baskets for Hope Supply

On March 31 the Addison Midday Rotary Club will make Easter Baskets for Hope Supply. This is our favorite project of the year.
We put together Easter Baskets for Hope Supply to distribute to them to families in need.

Please arrive at the May Dragon by between 11:45 and 12:00 noon. We have asked May Dragon to begin serving at 12:00 Noon. We want to be done eating by 12:30, when the Easter Basket fun begins.

Hope Supply will transport the baskets in their van for distribution.

WEAR YOUR ROTARTY SHIRT!

Join us March 24 to hear Kathie Wood talk about "Carry the Load"

Carry the Load Vision:
Carry The Load is built on more than events or fundraising, it is driven by a clear mission and vision that shape how we serve, remember, and support those affected by service. These principles guide our actions and keep our work focused on lasting impact.

Carry the Load provides active ways to honor and remember our nation’s heroes by connecting Americans to the sacrifices made by our military, veterans, first responders, and their families.

Since 2011, Carry The Load has raised $50.1M to support those who have bravely sacrificed for our country. Ninety-three percent of every dollar raised goes directly to our programs and makes a direct impact in the military and first responder communities.
