Fundraising calendar will help area kids who need a bed
Twin Bridges second annual Calendar Fundraiser will help the Club build beds for area kids who don't have one, TBR works with Sleep in Heavenly Peace (shpbeds.org) to build beds and distribute them to those in need. Here's how the fundraiser works: when a TBR member asks you to take part, choose one or more dates and pay that amount--for example, December 3rd costs $3, December 21 costs $21, etc. If you've purchased what turns out to the winning date, you win $100 and a bunch of area kids will get a new bed! Your chance of winning goes up the more you donate. When a TBR member asks for your help please be generous!
Shopping for the kids
Twin Bridges will continue its annual participation in Chamber Angels, shopping for holiday gifts for area children in need.
Members meet the Monday before Thanksgiving at Walmart to shop for designated kids in the program sponsored by the Chamber of Southern Saratoga County.

Twin Bridges Rotary Club
Selecting a Corporate Membership in Twin Bridges Rotary has been a great option for us at CAPTAIN Community Human Services. We share the membership among 3 of our senior staff and therefore find it easy to keep up with the commitment to attend meetings. At Twin Bridges our staff have had many opportunities to give back to the community through Rotary service activities. And, Rotary has been a wonderful supporter of CAPTAIN’s programs."
