Hello fellow Canton Rotarians and welcome to December.  This is certainly one of my favorite times of the year.  It has less to do with the temperature outside, although I do enjoy a good dusting of snow, but rather more to do with the temperature of people’s hearts.

During the month of December, we try a little harder to stop, pause, and to reflect on all that we have, and actively look for opportunities to share our abundances with others that are a bit less fortunate.  I feel there is a difference between the charity of giving, which is more obligatory, and the kindness of giving that generates from the heart.  It more reflects an activity that we want to do.  I feel it is the essence of Canton Rotarians.

There are some great opportunities this month for us to show our kindness.  The Sweet Treat Raffle will be back at our 12/17/21 meeting, Pack the Bus is occurring through the month of December, and who knows, we might have the opportunity to ring some Salvation Army Bells.  I look forward to working along side you and enjoying the holiday with you.

Happy Holidays Rotarians!

We hope that you are planning to attend our last meeting of 2021 on Friday, December 17^th. 

Doors open at 11:30am and it will be a time filled with great food, great fun, and great entertainment!

This year sees the return of our  "Sweet Treat Raffle” where you will have the opportunity to win a variety of donated dessert items: for example, cookies, breads, pies, and cakes, which will make for a "sweet" fundraiser with proceeds benefiting our Charitable Fund!

Each Rotarian is asked to bring their favorite culinary/holiday sweet treat that day to be raffled off at the meeting. It can be store bought or homemade so don’t let a lack of talent in the kitchen stop you from participating!

When you arrive, you will be able to purchase raffle tickets (2 for $1.00 or 12 for $5.00) and during lunch you will be able to put your tickets in the boxes for the items you would like to win. The more you buy the better your odds are to take home a delicious treat for your holiday gathering!

If you are planning to donate a treat to be raffled off, if would be helpful to contact Becky Clark beforehand so she knows how many items we will have and can plan accordingly.  She can be reached at 330.715.8199/bclark@ushardwaresupply.com.

Following our delicious holiday meal you will enjoy the incredible talents of organist Heather Cooper for a delightful holiday music concert played on the Gibbs-Pryor organ in the Christ Church Sanctuary.  During that time, our trusty elves will pull our treat winners and following the concert, you can stop in and pick up your delicious winnings!

This will be a great day to catch up with your Rotary friends or to bring a guest! Please be sure to RSVP to the online invitation when it is sent you to your email and add this special meeting to your calendar to attend! 

May the coming weeks be filled with peace, joy, family and friends, and as we look ahead to a new year remember that there are far better things ahead than any we leave behind!  Happy Holidays!
