Our 2026 assignments for Feed My Sheep are Mondays, March 23rd, June 8th, August 10th and October 26th. We need 5-7 volunteers to assist with the activity. We have access to the Church starting at 4:30 to start preparing. Your help is needed for prep, serving (which starts at 5:30 and ends at 6:00), and clean up. We would also like to have some additional volunteers to break bread with the participants. If you are up for a great meal and can lend a listening ear, please let Nick Kirchner know. If you help please let Nick know by email.
For those not familiar with this, Feed My Sheep community meal program at the First Baptist Church in Pittsfield. The Rotary has been involved in the program for a number of years along with several other community organizations. Each organization is part of a rotation that purchases, prepares, and serves a supper meal. There are currently 30-40 meals served.
During the June 4th meeting, we awarded 6 more scholarships from the Club Foundation. They totaled over $10K. We should take a moment and be very proud of our accomplishments as a Club. Our ability to raise funds to support these very generous scholarships is a testament to our commitment to service above self. Well Done!
It's time for the Club to recognize great work in our community with the annual Kagan Award. The nomination forms were distributed during previous meeting. This award is for one man and one woman who are non-Rotarians who go above and beyond with volunteer service in our community. Nomination Forms were due by May 14. Contact Ed Forfa or John Hudnall with questions.
