We're back! Thursday luncheons return to Mazzeo's this week as the ristorante's winter hiatus has concluded. Thanks to the staff at Restaurant 101for their fine hospitality.
We will be partnering with the Gladys Allen Brigham Center on Friday January 14th to participate in a "Gratitude Line" coordinated by 18 Degrees. We have chosen Allendale Elementary school. More details and a sign-up sheet will follow but here is the initial details:
Friday January 14th is a half day for students and whole day for staff, and showing our gratitude for public service is the perfect kick-off to the Martin Luther King Jr weekend. On that day, we would like to organize staff gratitude lines at each school at the end of the day (3:30 for elementary and 2:20 for middle and high schools). We will also make sure to recognize the bus operators, administration, adult learning center, Eagle Academy, and online learning center staff, and we’re figuring out the best way to reach those PPS employees. All told, we estimate there are 1200 staff working in the schools in different capacities.
Please RSVP your intent to Joan DiMartino (joan.dimartino@gd-ms.com) by 12:00 noon Tuesday so she may give Mazzeo's a head count. If unable to attend, our luncheon meetings are also available live on Zoom. If you cannot be there in person, consider streaming the event via the following link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84791340270?pwd=bm1zNkJPemF0MGJoLzZncW5KS3Judz09. Sometimes it takes a few moments to set up Zoom, so please be patient........ and please, if you've committed to attending, please don't neglect to attend unless there's a crisis.
Please note important update: The latest from our Auction Committee: Thank you for your continued support of the Rotary Auction! This year's theme matches our Rotary year theme: “Serve to Change Lives.” Donation forms have been distributed to the membership, so it's time to start collecting items. The Auction is rescheduled, tentative date range is mid-April at Berkshire Hills Country Club. A blank donation form that you may use to collect even more great items for the auction was sent to members in a separate email. The form is also downloaded onto the Club’s website (“Home Page Downloaded Forms”). We'd love to be able to include as many local partners as possible. If you want to check to make sure that another member hasn't solicited an item already, you can view the updated item solicitation spreadsheet online [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BCO96dhdXVnOL2yacSZUH0YW_UoVG6u9lyTBkVNn8FU/edit?usp=sharing]. Questions about items or the spreadsheet can go to Alex Reczkowski.
