5:45pm Dinner at Far East Restaurant; 7:15pm Sophia House
Rotary Club Dinner at 5:45pm at Far East Restaurant, 5055 Nicholson Lane, Rockville, MD 20852; Sophia House Service Project follows at 7:15pm
Sophia House accommodates 30-35 homeless ladies who receive not only shelter and sustenance, but a program of self-esteem and skill building counseling and other activities aimed at restoring independent, productive functioning. For about the past 6 years, the Rotary Club of Potomac-Bethesda has supported Sophia House residents with occasional dinners and a unique program which, additionally, provides Valentine gifts--the most popular of which continues to be shawls known as Pashminas. The Pashmina's cost about $8-$10 each, thereby requiring the Club to raise about $300 for this year's gift presentation which is scheduled to occur in a little over a week--on Thursday, 5 February 2015 at 7:15 pm. Contributions in any amount will be greatly appreciated. For additional information or to donate please visit pbrotary.org/Page/sophia-house.
