As we mentioned at our meeting on November 3^rd, Northwest Rotary for the last 27 years has provided a snack tray to the 911 operators the day before Thanksgiving.  We want to continue this project as it is very important to show thanks to these hard-working individuals at one of their busiest time of the year.  We are looking for some volunteers to help in this easy yet rewarding project.
