In keeping with its local mission of “Enhancing the Minds and Bodies of Our Children,” the Rotary Club of Solon, in partnership with Heinen's, participated in a service project to provide much-needed groceries to 10 families this Thanksgiving season.  "Helping those less fortunate than we are, especially during this season of giving thanks, is what the Rotary is all about," said Kevin Cox, President of the Rotary Club of Solon.

Five members of the Rotary Club of Solon, with assistance from their sons, gathered at the Heinen's in Bainbridge on Wednesday, November 23rd, to coordinate efforts to hand-deliver eight bags of groceries to each of ten different Geauga County families.  "It felt great to see how happy the family was when we knocked on their door and gave them food so they could enjoy Thanksgiving.  I want to do this again sometime soon," said Tyler McRill, a 7th grade student at Solon Middle School.

The Rotary Club of Solon next plans to “adopt” three Solon-area families for the holidays.
