Thanking Tricia and Amy for supplying
tasty sweet bites and delicious fruit
last Tuesday.
Appreciating Judith and Vince for bringing sweet
bites and fruit this Tuesday!
Linda will be perking coffee, and
the carafe which Jessica purchased for the club's use
for boiling water will be ready for tea.
"Breaking bread together" in fellowship is a joyful
way to start the day. Have you volunteered yet
to bring food? It can be simple and does not
have to be expensive or home baked.
See Amy to sign up. Thank you!

NEW SERVICE OPPORTUNITY
DIAPERS....DIAPERS....DIAPERS....DIAPERS,,,,
A couple of years ago, in conjunction with the Marblehead Rotary, we collected badly needed diapers to benefit the clients of the Lynn Family Association...We filled 3 SUV's back to front from floor to roof!
From now until April 30, Marblehead Health Department is initiating efforts along with Danvers and Swampscott to solicit donations of diapers, wipes, and cash contributions to benefit local area residents who have infants and toddlers and can't afford those necessary items.
CAN WE DO IT AGAIN?.......... SURE WE CAN!
They are looking particularly for sizes 5 & 6 but all sizes will be welcomed. Once again, donations may be dropped
off at Dolibers, 7 Westminster Rd. If you cannot drive to Westminster Rd., let Linda or Don know and arrangements will be made to pick your donations up. (Donations can also be left at the Marblehead Health Department, 7 Widger Rd., during office hours M,T,Th 8-5; W 8-6; F 8-12:30)
The diapers and wipes must be in new, unopened packages. Per the Health Department, in a nod to the environment, cloth diapers in new, unopened packages will also be accepted. Note: Per the Health Department rep, "many of the local donations in the past went to the
Marblehead Food Pantry."
If you care to make a financial donation in lieu of diapers, please make your check out to the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor, give it to Don when you sign in on Tuesdays, or mail to Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor, PO Box 941, Marblehead, MA 01945 by April 25. Please put "Diaper Donation" in the memo line. Thank you!
