Candace said the Salvation Army check for $1,000 has not been picked up. The Outreach Mission is very short of food, could we table it and give to Mission. It was the consensus that the Salvation Army is much richer that the East Stokes Ministries. Debbie made a motion that we give $500 to Outreach Ministries now and then give $100 per month until we get some more funds. Seconded by Betty, carried unanimously.
A member of the Lexington Rotary Club who has experience with international projects will be invited to come and talk to club.
