Guest Speaker
Bob Nolan told us about Gullota House, a not for profit organization which helps citizens of Westchester County who are facing financial and other difficulties, eg: food vouchers, scholarships, holiday assistance, etc. Bob, who is a Gullota House Board Member, related several stories of people whom they have helped: A man received a new handicap ramp to replace his crumbling one; a family going through financial hardship received a gas card and groceries and they were introduced to the Salvation Army; and at a fund raiser, money was raised to help pay for a high school student’s brain tumor surgery; and money was also donated to a college fund for a young woman who’s father had recently passed away. Check out their website, www.gullottahouse.org, for more information.
Bob is also a member of the Ossining Rotary Club and he advised us that their Annual Charity Duck Race is July 29th. If you wish to buy a duck, or two, or three, please visit the website above. Thank you, Bob, for your presentation.
