To Envoy Kirk’s surprise, Fichtner announced the Downtown Rotary had some very good news . “We had our Rotary luncheon yesterday and passed around the hat. We raised $4,095 and the Downtown Rotary agreed to match those funds, so we are donating $8,190 to the Salvation Army.” While a broad smile was evident on Envoy Kirk’s face, there were tears in his eyes as he offered thanks “We are very grateful, this is so wonderful, thank you so very much”.
The Salvation Army has already started delivering Christmas hampers to families in need, helping 1821 people.
“We still need to have some people help us with our Kettle Campaign. This Saturday is our biggest day, and we need some help in making sure the shifts are filled” says Kirk. If you are able to offer any assistance, call the Salvation Army at 250-564-4000.
