‘Thank You,’
Reedley Rotary Club Volunteers are much val-
ued and give so much with- out expecting anything in return. We could not provide our senior programs without them.
Each year, HandsOn Cen- tral California honors senior volunteers, with a special lunch at the Clovis Veterans Memorial District building.
We want to thank the Rotary Club of Reedley for sponsoring our trip to the event. The club’s donation to provide bus transportation will allow our senior volun- teers to attend the luncheon.
Our senior volunteers truly appreciate the Rotary Club’s generosity.
