The Prestonwood Rotary Club convened at the Pioneer Technology and Arts Academy cafeteria alongside the PTAA Interact Club to assemble Bye Bye Bags for Vogel Alcove. The Interact Club opened the event with the Ringing of the Bell, invocation, and pledges. Various tables were set up with supplies to build the Bye Bye Bags and both Interact Club members and PRC members shared tables and began putting the bags together.
Vogel Alcove's mission is to support young children and their families in mitigating and overcoming the enduring and traumatic effects of homelessness and poverty. The Bye Bye Bags program offers children the opportunity to receive a meal during their daily transition from Vogel to their shelter. Vogel Alcove typically distributes 200 bags daily.
Over 30 Rotarians and Interactors assembled the Bye Bye Bags and will deliver 300 bags to Vogel Alcove this week. PRC spent a few minutes afterward answering questions from Interactors about Rotary. Rotarians and future Rotarians at work!
