On a warm Saturday, December 12, 2015, members of Rocky Point Rotary and family volunteered to man the Salvation Army collection kettles at Stop and Shop in Miller Place, This is an annual initiative undertaken by the Club. The Salvation Army kettle drive was started in 1891 when Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee was distraught because so many poor individuals in San Francisco were going hungry. During the holiday season, he resolved to provide a free Christmas dinner for the destitute and poverty-stricken.
On Sunday evening, December 13, 2015, members of the Rocky Point Rotary Club gathered for some holiday fun and cheer. Deirdre and George Dubato graciously hosted the party at their lovely home in Mount Sinai. A fun time was had by all! Thank you, Deirdre and George!
