Rest In Peace, Jacquie

Posted by Tim Kelley on Jan 14, 2019

We are very sad to report that long time Reading Rotarian Jacquie Carson has passed away. Here is a link to her funeral arrangements in Bennington, VT.

Jacquie was very actively involved in Rotary serving as a director, secretary and Past President. She was usually right in the middle of every fundraiser and service project we held.

Our thoughts are with Jacquie's family, especially her husband, Brian Johansen.

A Big Thank You From an Adopted Family

Posted by Tim Kelley on Jan 07, 2019

We've received a note of thanks from one of the families served in the Adopt-a-Family. From Family #45:

"I would like to send a Great Big Thank You to EVERYONE from Adopt a Family that made it possible for my family and I to experience a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Christmas during this year's hardship. All of your love and support made it possible for us not to miss out on the holiday and we are not worrying about being without. You were a blessing to our family and I really appreciate it. I wish I could thank you all individually because I feel so blessed for the love that was shown to our family but understand the rules and hope that you can share this letter with the families and volunteers that helped us out. I am not sure if this is something you do only around the holiday or all year round much smaller scale but I would love to find a way to give back and share my appreciation with others that was shown to us once I am working again and back on my feet. You have been a blessing and have shown the true meaning behind both holidays that it reminds me why I love to volunteer and the inspiration behind my Faith. Please let me know how we may show our appreciation and support in the future.

Blessings,
Family #45"

It is a wonderful thing to hear of the impact of our volunteers on the families we served.

Happy New Year!
