Salvation Army "service above self" project
Do you know there are 9000+ federal employees in Washington County ... many who did not receive a paycheck in October due to the government shutdown? As a result, many will be seeking help for the first time ever from such organizations as the Utah Food Bank and the Salvation Army.
Monday, November 10 is part of a 4-day Veterans Day weekend so many of our members will be taking time off. We debated cancelling our meeting on that day but the Salvation Army ... which is already seeing an increase in those furloughed federal employees seeking help at this difficult time.
Please won't you join us for lunch and a work project or two at 11:30 at the offices of the Salvation Army located at 568 W. Telegraph in Washington City (across from the Washington WalMart).
There is much to be done and your help can provide a huge benefit to those in crisis in our community.
PS: If you cannot be with us on Monday, November 10, please consider purchasing the new Dixie Direct Savings Guides. The cost again this year is $40 - of which half will be doubled on Giving Tuesday for a direct donation to the Utah Food Bank. Of course, Rotarians - generous with time and money - can do both!!!!
