Happy holidays! Sending you all our love this holiday season, and wishing you much joy in the new year.
President's Message

It's hard to believe that 2021 is nearly over. I am thankful for this wonderful Rotary family and look forward to what we can accomplish in 2022 and beyond!
 
If you have speaker or service project ideas for 2022, please reach out to Jacob. We are looking to fill our calendar with wonderful opportunties for us to learn about and give back to our community, and the world! 
 
We adopted two families from the Marion Independent School District who are in need of assistance this holiday season. The list of gifts still needed to purchase for these families is available here. Bring cash or gifts to our meeting on December 8th at Stewart Baxter in Marion. I hope you all participate in some way to make others’ lives better.
 
We will also create a new tradition of a gift exchange at that same meeting (December 8th). All participants should bring a wrapped gift valued between $15-20 for an exchange. This meeting will be full of food, fun, and fellowship! 
 
However, if you choose to celebrate the holidays, we hope you choose to do it with Rotary.

Yours In Service,
Michelle
