BINGO BUDDIES!
Ed asked and he received! Six Rotarians and partners rallied to help Shorehaven residents with Bingo Monday night, launching a happy holiday season for nursing home residents. Thank you all who dealt bananas, Bingos, Beanie Babies, Hershey bars and loads of fun.
KETTLE KEEPERS "KNEEDED"
The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign is here and we are looking for you to help! Contact Jerry Schneider (from Kiwanis) by phone or email to sign up 262-370-6275 or schneider726@wi.rr.com to sign up! Each slot is for 1.5 hours. Jerry mentioned: “We ring inside at PNS/Metro Mart at Pabst farms. We have a stool there that ringers can sit on. Under the seat there is a box with necklaces with bulbs that light up. Ringers are welcome to use these and take one home for helping us. Last year was our best year ever as we raised approximately $15,000.00. We did this with a match program, having a virtual kettle, sending letters out to friends and family members and the very generous residents putting money in the Kettle. We hope to match that amount this year."
