Following a decision by the board this week, plans are underway to move the club’s regular meetings to the Plaza in mid-February. President Elect Joe Tarver will share more details about the move as plans are finalized. Third Thursday meetings at Second Harvest to pack vegetables and fruit will continue, and regular meetings will be at the Plaza.

As part of the transition, Community Service Director Melanie Cromartie will form a team to strengthen the club’s current service projects and financial support for the Vashti Center. Members interested in joining the Vashti project team should contact Melanie.

Vashti has been a focus for our club’s service since the club’s founding in 1921. During the past year, our meetings on the Vashti Center’s campus and interaction with staff and students helped members more fully understand the critical support the organization provides to more than 500 children and their families through our region.
