The Sandhills Rotary Club, of which I am a member, will be coordinating an event to help alleviate worldwide hunger. Using a nutrient-rich mixture of dry goods, we plan to pack 20,000 meals in one day for hungry people around the world. Our club is part of a regional effort to pack 1,000,000 meals.

On Packing Day, scheduled for Saturday, March 8, 2008, we will need many volunteers-parents, teachers, even children-to help with a variety of tasks, from bagging to labeling to loading the truck.

The meals will cost about 20 cents each. Our club is raising the money to pay for all the meals. If you would like to support us with your donations, please make a check payable to Sandhills Rotary Club. We are a qualified charity and will be happy to give a tax receipt.

The  mailing address is:
