Ronnie took a moment to thank Kelly for allowing him to be part of the Principal for a Day Program at Clinton Elementary School. He was very impressed with Principal Jenna Sharp and how she knew every student’s name and family in a school that large! He had a great time and recommended it to anyone who has not had the opportunity to participate in the program yet. If you participated and have a photo you would like to share, please send that to us so that we can feature it!
Congratulations to Bill and Gail Gallaher on becoming grandparents to a sweet baby girl, Olivia Carman Howland!

Project Information
We are happy to announce that a host home for our exchange student has been found in Oak Ridge. This will cover the next few months. Following that, Jay and Katherine Birkbeck have volunteered for the next 3 months, then a teacher at ACHS after that. However, they may still need an additional host home in the summer, so please be thinking ahead if you are interested.
All time frames for the Salvation Army Bell Ringing have been filled! If you can’t remember the time slot you signed up for, please see John or Vicki. Thank you for volunteering your time!
The Community Action Coat Drive is going on now! We are accepting new and gently used coat donations in all sizes to help furnish coats for those that don’t have the money to buy one otherwise. You may either drop your donations off at Fox Toyota, MIG or bring them to Rotary with you on Tuesdays. We have collected 85 coats, however, there is still a need for 1,500 more. In the past, our club has collected about 5,000 coats each year for this. We hope this year will be no different! Please see ET with any questions.
