The Farmville Rotary Club packed 75 shoeboxes during their lunch time meeting at Charley’s Waterfront Café. The packed shoeboxes are for the international mission organization of Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child. From children to seniors, people pack shoebox gifts each year to bless children in need around the world. The Rotary Club motto is “Service Above Self.” This annual project is just one way the Farmville based club fulfills this promise. The Rotary Club has two meeting times, noon each Thursday at Charley’s Waterfront Café and 5:30 p.m. each Thursday at rotating locations. The club invites you to join them and see what they are about.
