Earlier this week, Don LaBarge was presented a certificate of Appreciation for Mesa West Rotary from the Salvation Army in Mesa Arizona. In recent years, Don has coordinated the scheduling of bell-ringers to serve at the kettle station located in front of the Bass Pro Shop. This past holiday season our station set another record for collections. This year, Mesa West Rotarians stepped up to the staffing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic which prevented some groups who normally help from being there. Many members worked multiple shifts throughout the holiday season.
As was reported earlier this year, Mesa West Rotary set a new record, raising $20,384.42.
