Rotaractor Tiffany serving the “Heroes” Breakfast to some residents of the Cardin Home

The sumptuous menu, which consisted of an assortment of dishes, fresh fruits, and hot beverages, was served to the some eighty (80) persons who are currently living at the Health Care Facility.

According to Community Services Director, Dominic Matthew, the project, which was first, organized in 2001, has become an Annual event on the Club’s Calendar and is one of the many ways it continues to “give back” to the Community.

“This project first started in 2001. Since then, every year the general membership eagerly looks forward to coming to the Cardin Home to prepare and serve breakfast.
 
The Annual venture continues to provide the ideal opportunity for us to take the time to show our gratitude to the persons who have made their mark on our Society at some point or the other and are ever so often forgotten,” stated Matthew. ~~Adz:Right~~

After the breakfast, members used the occasion to fellowship with the residents, sharing stories, singing, and even dancing. The management and staff offered words of appreciation and thanked the Rotaractors for providing another delicious meal and camaraderie.

Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages eighteen (18) to thirty (30). Rotaract clubs are usually community-based or university-based and are sponsored by a local Rotary club making them true "partners in service" and key members of the Rotary family.

Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
