Hurricane Helene Recovery
The Rotary Club of Ashville, North Carolina, is seeking donations to help with the Hurricane Helene recovery efforts. Our club member Collier Graham often attends their club meetings. Should members wish to support the continued disaster relief work, they have a club foundation (501 c.3 organization, so contributions are tax deductible). Checks should be made payable to the
Rotary Club of Asheville Foundation, Inc. and mailed to: Janet Whitworth, Rotary Club of Asheville, Chair, Disaster Relief Committee, P.O. Box 1954, Asheville, NC 28802. You may also go to the Club's website at www.rotaryasheville.org to donate using a credit card or PayPal.
Prayer
O God, whose creative power is evident all around us in these early summer days, we are grateful for the resources available to us for enriched living and productive working. As stewards of the things that bring joy and meaning to life help us to use them for the good of others and for your glory. Bless now our gathering in this place, that our influence for good will be felt in this small corner of the world. To that end we offer gratitude for sustaining food, enriching fellowship and invigorating involvement in worthwhile endeavors. Amen.
