Volunteers Appreciated
Aug. 10th, 2016 10:01 amLast night, the Rotary Club of Darien held a Volunteer Appreciation Night at Miskatonic Brewing in Darien IL. The Darien club's signature project is "Food for Kids" which is a program to provide supplemental nutrition to 195 grade school children in Darien and Burr Ridge.
In this program, the club buys kid-friendly food (such as individual cereal boxes) in bulk. The club, working with area volunteers, break down the bulk items into one child, one weekend packets, which are discreetly distributed to needy children by the school. The Darien club wanted to recognize volunteers who went above and beyond to assist.
The following volunteers were recognized:
(Not able to attend) Nick Schanker
(L to R) Maryann Kerrins, Tom Kerrins, Rotary club coordinator Joan Wayman
(L to R) Megan Dooley, Beth Dooley, Joan Wayman
The club also announced that Megan Dooley, an incoming freshman at Hinsdale South HS, will be attending Rotary Youth Leadership Activity.
