CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR WITH COMMITMENT

As we begin the New Year, most of us spend time in reflection and preparation for the coming 12 months.  Sertomans are well known for their commitment to service, God and family.  We dedicate our time and energy to many community projects.

As you begin this reflection and planning, consider some small but very significant ways to serve your neighbors,  In addition to the wonderful opportunities Sertoma offers, the following suggestions take little time or effort to help.

1. Contribute to the Round Rock Serving Center.  The Serving Center has heavy demand for the food on it’s shelves.  Dropping off a box of canned goods  takes 5 minutes.  They are located at 1099 E. Main, across the street from Trinity  Lutheran Nursing Home.

2. Get on the Bone Marrow Donor list.  The Blood and Tissue Center office is located at 3400 N. Lamar (by Central Market).  Call Shirley Lain for information at 206-1272.  Mention you are a Sertoman and the marrow typing is free.

3. Mentor a child in your neighborhood school. 

So many of our children need a listening ear and encouragement.  You can make an incredible difference in a child’s life with just 30 minutes a week.  Call the RRISD Administrative office at 464-5000 for information.

Contact the Round Rock Volunteer Center for more opportunities!  388-4575.
