Donations Given to No Vet Left Behind

Milford Rotary presented a financial gift and donated items to No Vet Left Behind at their November 10, 2011  luncheon at Aldario's Restaruant.

Tracy O’Brien, President of Milford Rotary, presented a check for $700 to founder and director of No Vet Left Behind, Mary E. Porter.

“We were actually able to donate more than originally budgeted, thanks to $150 collected from my customers at Marvin Display over the last month and another $200 that was raised during the meeting on Thursday,” reports Ms. O’Brien. “We also had quite a collection of food and clothing that our members and the Interact clubs from Foran and Law High Schools collected and donated. It was such a wonderful meeting, one of those that affirms my pride in our club, and the happiness that we were able to impact the lives of those in need.”

Milford Rotary has a standing committee focused on Veterans Affairs, chaired this year by Club member, Peggy Rogers.
