Service Project Friday December 15, 2017Friday December 15, 2017 we will be having our monthly service project. We will be volunteering at Buckner Family Services Market Days. The event will take place right next to the Buckner Family Hope Center at 39614 Mile 7 Rd. Ste. 3 in Penitas. All McAllen Rotarians are encouraged to attend. The Market Days event is a market place for hard working people from the colonias to buy some needed household goods, tools to perform work, and personal hygiene items as well as shoes. They pay for these items with "Buckner Bucks" that they have earned by educating themselves to be better parents and citizens by taking classes that Buckner Family Services provides. Come help us be the booth attendants and help these good people. |
