Rotarians Assemble for a Great Cause
Posted by Tim Durbin on Oct 17, 2013
A small but determined group of Rotarians led by our President, Travis Liebig, gathered at John Burroughs School October 11th to package meals as a part of St. Louis World Food Day. Backed by a generous donation from our Charitable Giving committee, our club not only made a financial impact to the outcome of the event, but also were able to get our "hands on" in the process. All told, the event spearheaded by a JBS senior resulted in over 300,000 meals to be sent to famine-affected areas of Africa. |
