A special thank you to Dr. Steve Robinson, Interim President at Owens Community College, for being our guest speaker last Friday. Dr. Robinson gave us a great overview of Owens and the many programs they offer. In addition, we had the opportunity to learn about the success of their Health Professions and Nursing programs, the Workforce Training programs, and their partnership with Bowling Green State University and The University of Toledo!

Service Opportunity

You’ve heard Les Domini, Chair of our Community Service Avenue of Service, and President Chet has talked about this volunteer opportunity. Perrysburg Rotarians are partnering with the Wood County Committee on Aging to deliver home-cooked meals to seniors in Perrysburg who are homebound. (If you are thinking “meals on wheels,” you are correct, except this program is through the Wood County Committee on Aging.) No cooking required!
All you need to do is stop by the Perrysburg Senior Center at 11:15am on the second and fourth Thursday of the month and pick up the prepared meals, drive to your 10-14 designated homes, knock on the door, and hand the meal (with a smile) to the homebound senior!
Advance arrangements and completion of the attached Volunteer Profile are necessary.
To learn more or to ask questions about this project, please contact Susan Nelson or Les Domini.
