Dear Dogwood Clients,

During this recession, needs everywhere are greater than ever before.  As the current president of The Gresham Rotary Club, I’m honored to be a part of  an organization whose purpose is service to our community and to our world, with a focus on youth.

• We award scholarships to high school seniors going to college.
• We deliver Meals on Wheels.
• We helped develop, and annually clean up, YMCA’s Camp Collins, the track at Gradin Sports Park, plus a very little Gresham park.
• We donate many books and dictionaries to local elementary school children and school libraries.
• We adopt families in need, and ring the bell, at Christmas time.
• We award money to other local non-profits.
• We join other Rotary clubs to bring sanitation and water supply to villages in Bali; food-producing Morenga trees to a village in Mexico, and most notably our biggest project continues to be world-wide eradication of polio!
