Members of the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North met this morning to help stuff handbags and back packs for women and men coming out of Rehab, as well as backpacks filled with a coloring book, crayons, a little stuffed animal and candy to be given to their children. Some of this was made possible through our $5000 grant to help Purse Impressions continue to assist those in need at a special time in their life.  Donations of gently used purses, costume jewelry and scarves are sold in the boutique to raise monies to purchase items not donated. Here is a photo with our “crew” and Patricia, in the Christmas sweater, the amazing woman who started this charity.  

Rotarians had a lot of fun at their last meeting of 2024 of The Rotary Club of Scottsdale North.  Pictured with our awesome server, Nico, are good sport members who braved the “Ugly Sweater” challenge.
