Rotarians Help With Community Christmas Dinner

DSCF9561

A number of Gallipolis Rotarians volunteered some personal time on Christmas Day to help with a free community dinner provided by Dave’s American Grill.  Owner and Rotarian, David Smith, asked fellow Rotarians to take some time and help out a few hours.  Those that responded enjoyed the fellowship and helped feed an estimated 500 diners.

Volunteers included Chuck Clark, Cathy Clark, Kevin Petrie, Dave and Shanna Smith, President Bonnie McFarland, Melissa Kimmel, and Greg and Jane Sojka and daughters!  Bonnie brought a box of elf hats to help put everyone in the mood.

A big “Thanks” goes out to Cathy Clark for her photos of the event!

Thank you all for helping out!

    It was an honor and a pleasure to volunteer at this event on Christmas Day! I don’t think I have ever washed that many dishes.
