Pres. Jay had nice meeting with the new team at All Saints Church..Father Pae and Deacon Lorez. He has invited them along with Rev. McCarron to share a breakfast and update us on latest events at the Church. All Saints is the oldest religious institution in Great Neck, built in 1886. Father Pae recalled obtaining a Rotary scholarship at College, so is well aware of our support for the community. We look forward to giving them a warm welcome.
 
We have provided Teach For America volunteer Christopher Matles with seed money to begin his college prep project at Yazoo City, Miss. H S.   The Club introduced him to the local Rotary Club in Yazoo where he should enjoy warm support for his efforts (especially as Supt. of Schools is a Club member)!!
