December 5th Meeting
LeRoy Falcon, CEO of the Metro YMCAs will be the guest speaker during our December 5th meeting. In communities across the nation, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, hundreds of thousands of youth, adults and families in the Metro Jackson area are receiving the support, guidance, and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for the spirit, mind and body.
Salvation Army Bell Ringing
BELL RINGERS NEEDED!!!
The Rotary Club of North Jackson will be ringing the bell for the Salvation Army Kettle at Corner Market in Maywood Mart on Northside Dr. Dec. 5th-7th from 10a.m. - 5p.m. call Rob Whitley @ 601-362-8844 to sign-up.
Holiday Party
On Tuesday, December 12th the Club will hold our annual Holiday Party at the Jackson Yacht Club at 700 Yacht Club Road in Ridgeland from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. We will NOT have our regular Noon meeting on the 12th. Again, this year, our Holiday party should be twice as good because it is two parties in one! This year, the Club’s Board of Directors has decided to combine our traditional Fall Fling with the Holiday Party. As a result, attending the Holiday Party will have a ZERO cost to attend along with your spouse, significant other or a friend. We will have a CASH BAR. Each member and their guest will be given a ticket for a beverage from the bar. Additional beverages will be available, so plan to bring a little CASH to make those additional beverages happen! Musical entertainment will be provided by Shelby L. Greer. If you haven’t signed up on the Signup sheet at a recent meeting, please sign-up next Tuesday. You can also sign up by emailing or calling Don Roberts @ donroberts71@outlook.com or 601-540-8911.

November 28, 2023, Meeting
David and Amy Lancaster, founders of We Will Go Ministries, spoke to The club on Tuesday Nov. 28th. In 2000, the Lancaster's wanted more out of their Christian lives. They saw there was great need in Jackson, MS. Their heart to see a better Jackson led them to take action and say “we will go.” They began to partner with others with the heart to be a neighbor to those in the community. We Will Go has continued to grow over the years with the help of volunteers, donors, churches, and partners. We Will Go now focuses efforts on Education, Essential Food, and Engagement. Shown from left to right, Club President Matt Monsour, Amy Lancaster, David Lancaster and Club Treasurer Suzy Tubb. Here is the link to the meeting video.
