Pictured, from left, are some of the members of the Rotary Club of Sayre including Charlie Hammond, Dayton Handrick, Ed Brittain, Nancy Brittain, Adam Bennett, Michele Licata, Bob Crocker, Sherry Griggs and Ella Belles.
Each year the Sayre Rotary club puts together Thanksgiving baskets to be donated to Sayre families that may not have otherwise enjoyed “turkey with all the trimmings”.
Each club member donated items for the baskets to include potatoes, milk, stuffing, vegetables, pumpkin pie and cool whip, just to name some of the many items necessary to make Thanksgiving dinner complete.
The turkeys were paid for with donations from the Sayre VFW and club funds paid for the pumpkin pies. In addition, a fifth basket was donated by the employees of the Robert Packer Hospital Sterile Processing Department. The person responsible for organizing the Department effort was Mary Jane Bloss, who is the daughter of Sayre Rotarian Charlie Hammond.
The members of the Sayre Rotary club would like to thank the Sayre VFW as well as the employees of the RPH Sterile Processing Department for their generous donations.
Preparing Thanksgiving baskets is one of many activities that the members enjoy each year to support the community. The Sayre Rotary Club meets every Tuesday at 12:10 p.m. at the Rail House Restaurant in Waverly, N.Y.
