Thank you John for submitting the article to the Great Neck Record about our SH scholarship student. John will give us more details about the midnight run charity event.
He introduced Melissa who will be working with 3rd and 4th graders in a Robot Club that will include John's HS team as mentors. In addition to technical skills, this will be great for interpersonal relationship building.The Club has provided a Lego Mindstorm Kit which is a great way to introduce robotic skills to 9 and 10 year olds.
Gov. Ravi asks us to circle Feb. 18 when the President of Rotary International will visit with us and two other Clubs for an evening at Crest Hollow Club. Ravi has already lined up major donors to our Foundation which will enable significant global projects to proceed with Clubs in Nicaragua, India and Africa.
Dennis described the Rotaship project that he ran at JFK Club where Rotary Clubs can ship to other Clubs items at cost  which has been used during humanitarian crisis.
President Mike's friends have donated the big bags of childrens clothes today to the Great Neck Food Pantry. Next week we have penciled in a visit by Kathy Priven of the Food Bank to describe how we can help them even beyond what we have so far donated.
We are all enjoying Ed's book and will schedule him as featured speaker at an upcoming meeting when he will sign our books!!l
