Plastic Bottle Caps
Joanne Croghan is collecting plastic bottle caps to help The Rotary Club of Kingston which transports the caps to Mexico. The funds generated are used to help with medical expenses for children with cancer.
We want rigid plastic lids with threading on the inside. If you want to donate bottle caps, simply bring them to any meeting and we will send them on their way.

Please Don’t Forget about Ukraine
The war in Ukraine rages on, and 17 million Ukrainians remain in need of humanitarian assistance. Our club is part of a Pacific Northwest 12-Rotary Club consortium that delivers food, clothing, medical supplies, small cooking/heating stoves and bedding from Zamosc Ordynacki, Poland, to Kyiv, Ukraine, for distribution to the neediest areas in the country. This group has financed over $100,000 worth of supplies this past year! Please help us keep the momentum going by making your contribution for Ukrainian support today. Go to the RCBI website and push “donate,” and you will be directed to our Ukraine Relief Fund. Thank you so much for whatever you can do.
