New member induction & Interact chartering

New member induction/Interact chartering ceremony that was held at the Spanish Colonial Museum in January. Congratulation all and thank you, Rita, for the great pictures!

Thank you!

On behalf of Rotary Club of Santa Fe Centro and Carry the Future we would like to thank all volunteers, donors, and supporters who helped us in this project

During this three day drive, we were able to collect over $1,500. We received 30 notes of hope and love to refugee families. They will be mailed to Carry the Future and delivered to refugee families by CTF volunteers during their next monthly deployment. 5 baby carriers were donated.

This was a joint project of the Rotary Club of Santa Fe del Sur, Rotary Club of Santa Fe, Rotary Club of Santa Fe Centro
