At the December board meeting, the Executive Committee approved the donation of $1,000 to ten food pantries, for a total of $10,000. Our food drive collected $4,246, so the balance of $5,754 was approved from Club benevolence funds. The Board decided to move away from the separate donation account that we set up at Harry's supermarket in favor of donate $1000 to directly to each of the ten pantries. The Club is hoping to present the ten donation checks at our meeting on March 9.
