The Rotary Foundation has been so effective because it matches 

money with people. In the words of Arch C. Klump: “Money alone 

does little good. Individual service is helpless without money. The 

two together can be a Godsend to civilization.” Your financial 

resources, time, energy, and talent are useful in the Rotary 

mission. 


Our guest speaker this morning was Chad from BEST for Bristol - Bristol eliminating substance abuse together, 

Chad works in the civic sector, focusing to get kids before they experiment with drugs,

 We will have a Booth at the farmers market, health fair, BBGC, 

Help get the message across, meet 1x per month, invited by schools, HS Marijuana in school, program,  work with elementary school, posters and essays with kids, coloring books, books in cruisers,

help families and kids.  What can they do as a group...be aware, contact Chad.  If you see him around town - say hello, and look for ways to make a positive impact..  Would love to come back & speak 1x per year,  would love a raffle basket donation for the youth banquet
