Hello Metro,

Is there a best month of the year?! There MAY be!  Here's a look ahead at this coming month's service projects, including a timely diaper donations drive for Over the Moon!

MAY SERVICE PROJECTS

Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia - Saturday May 4  Sign up here 

Metro + Junior League + Jaycees will be at Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia's new location on Chatham Parkway to pack food for their Summer Feeding program.  Hooray for a community effort! 

Please note that we currently only have 3 people signed up for this service project. If we don't get to at least 15 volunteers by end of this week, we may need to reschedule that day, so please sign up if you are able to join on the 4th so we can get a headcount and make some decisions. Thank you!

Over the Moon Diapers Donations Drive - now thru May 7

Our friends at Over the Moon Diaper Bank are in need of diapers, pull ups and baby wipes, so we're going to help them out with a donations drive.  You can donate by:

  • Ordering directly from their Target or Amazon wishlist, and items will ship directly to OTM. Please include a gift message and say you're with Metro Rotary so they know who it's from. 
  • Bringing items to the JEA at our next meeting on May 7 (or earlier) and drop off at their donation barrels in the lobby. 

This is a great way to get those make-up attendance credits!  For every $25 donated, you'll get one make-up credit. Max 3 credits. Please send your proof of purchase to me and I will compile for Sara.

Emmaus House - Monday May 13 Sign up here 

The 2nd Monday of each month is now "Metro Monday"!  We will assist with the soup kitchen from 7:30-9:30am. This service project is for adult volunteers. Minors 13 and up can volunteer accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Hope to see you there, and as always--

Thanks for being ridiculously awesome!
