We are delighted that three local organizations will join us for our February 15 meeting as part of our "giving back" efforts from Flags for Heroes.
If you are able, please consider bringing an item or two (or more) to donate based on the organizations' needs. What a beautiful gift it is for us to be able to share resources with those who are in need! (Additional information below.)

JFT Recovery & Veterans Support Services
Currently, JFT is looking for summer clothes and nonperishable food items for their Clothing Closet and Food Pantry.
Hopefully, everyone received the letter from Joe McNally, Foundation
Chair for the RCWS, about the Share the Love Campaign.
In celebration of Valentine's Day, a donation of at least $100 payable to TRF’s Annual Fund-SHARE during the week of Valentine’s Day (Feb 11-17) qualifies you to receive 100 Foundation points. Additionally, District 7390 will match your donation with 100 Paul Harris points. Taking it a step further, the RCWS will also match your minimum $100 donation with 100 Paul Harris points. That means your $100 donation is equal to 300 Paul Harris points!
