Rotaract: Friday Night Life Supper at Good Works, October 31, 2008
Serving a dinner to those in need started as a thought by new Rotaract members who learned about Good Works Friday Night Supper. This thought turned into a huge reality and success that left all of those involved very inspired. Friday Night Life Supper takes place every Friday evening and can serve up to 150 people. This past October 31st, Rotaract members Greg Moeller, Regina Warfel, Verne and Erin Simons, planned and served a spaghetti and grilled chicken dinner that also featured a Farmers Market’s vegetable stir fry, French breads, a fresh veggie and humus appetizer, and grapes and bananas for desert to about 100 people. Rotary members Alan Boyd and Claudia González-Vallejo (along with her family) joined the group in cooking and socializing with members of Good Works and Director Keith Wasserman. Undergraduate students from Ohio University, Beth Noble, Jesse Deegan, and Jenn Deegan, provided much help in cutting and serving the dinner. The Rotary club members who supported this event via their monetary contributions are thanked, as well as the fresh vegetable donation from the Farmers Market by Keith Brook.
Rotaract restarted in Athens this past August and meets every second Thursday of the month, 5:30 pm, at Courtside Pizza. Rotary is very proud of this group of young professionals who have accomplished so much in such a short period. Congratulations Rotaract for this major successful project!
