Dear Rotarian,
WELCOME to the Fayrotales
newsletter
Can't pass on repeating some of RI President Bill
Boyd's word from December Rotarian:
" ..the family of Rotary is important to us...Rotary is
an organization of people who care - about their
homes, their communities and each other. And caring
is what family is all about. A key idea of the family of
Rotary is that it encompasses the family of every
Rotarian... Rotary's success depends on the support
of every Rotarian and everyone in the family of
Rotary. In a family, no one is any more or less
important than any one else....All of us are working
toward the same goals of better communities and a
better world."

On Thursday, November 16th, the Community
Development Committee donated a $500 check to the
Arkansas Voices Grandparent Project. The money will
be used to buy Christmas gifts for grandparents who
are part of the program.

| COMMUNITY SERVICE - Homeless Student Program |
|
|
Looking for a way to show your holiday spirit by
helping those in need? For the second year in a row,
the Rotary Human Development Committee is
collecting donated items to support the Fayetteville
School District's Homeless Student Program. This
year we will be assisting with gift baskets for
homeless families with children in Fayetteville public
schools. Items needed include:
• Non-perishable food items (e.g. canned
food, boxed macaroni and cheese,etc.)
• Personal care items
• Blankets
• Kid's back packs (for carrying school books)
• School supplies
• New kid's coats
• Laundry baskets (to be used as the gift
basket)
• OR....save a trip to the store and give a
few dollars (make checks payable to "Fayetteville
Schools/Homeless Program")
There will be laundry baskets by the doors at each
meeting through December 14th for the items you
bring. Also, change cups for December will go to
support this program. Thanks in advance for your
help!
A special thanks to Clay Davis and the Human
Development committee for their hard work on this
program!
