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.  If you wish to donate by check or contact us please click here.  Thank you for your support.
