Thanks to club member Kevin O'Neill for organizing this week's program. Rob Wiss (Director/Veterans Service Officer) and Eric Pugh (Investigator/Veterans Service Officer) from the Auglaize County Veterans Service Office provided information on what their office does to help Veterans. Compensation is provided to Veterans who were injured during their service or have a disability/injury as a result of their time in service. It is not limited to just physical injury; Post Tra...umatic Stress Disorder, also known as PTSD is another concern they help with. They also help Veterans with applications and submitting the forms to the VA, which can help Veterans receive their allowable benefits. If you have questions about any injury, illness, or disability, call or visit the Veterans Service Office to discuss your options. More information is available at http://www2.auglaizecounty.org/resources/vet-service |

They will be held the first and third Thursday of every month at the New Bremen American Legion from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. This will be more of a social meeting and will focus on information about our Rotary service projects, local, regional as well as international. We have members from New Bremen, New Knoxville, Minster, St Marys, Maria Stein, Wapakoneta and Lima so all are welcome. Come out and join us. We would love to have YOU as a new member of the New Bremen - New Knoxville Rotary Club! |

¡Hola a todos!
Hello to everyone from Farming Hope.
And a big thank you.
Your club, and you as individual members, more than anyone else, have made our biggest project yet possible.
In sunny El Salvador, short weeks ago, two acres went up for sale next to our farm for homeless individuals.
I barely had to ask and your club, quite quickly, acted to make that purchase. I am personally so grateful for the chance to speak to your club, and now work together to double a working solution, and be part of your wishes and work for a better world.
Your investment protects and grows a future for many hungry and homeless individuals, for generations. Thanks to you, our farm will be more than double in size, now over three acres, allowing us to grow twice as much corn, beans, vegetables to eat at the Hope House homeless shelter (feeding 50+ daily) and twice the work spots for homeless individuals to rebuild their lives on the farm.
This pilot farm is a model for farms in Wisconsin, Illinois, and now California (and someday, Ohio!). The lessons from El Salvador are an investment in better, more sustainable charity, the kind Rotary promotes, the kind our communities need.
Thank you immensely for investing in your brothers and sisters in El Salvador, and in a project that can grow to inspire sustainable farming projects worldwide.
A special note: I want to invite you to see the fruits of your loving investment: winter harvest season is October-December, and I'd love you to visit next year to see the newly improved farm and volunteer side-by-side with the Hope Farmers.
Thanks - and good luck in all your endeavors. God Bless.
Sincerely,
Jamie Stark and the Farming Hope familia

Because numerous members and guests cannot make the auction this fall, the committee has decided to postpone it until next spring. March 12th is the date that has been chosen so mark it down and plan to attend, have some fun and support our club, communities and the projects that we sponsor and support!
