This morning our club completed one of our favorite service projects...building beds at Bed Brigade. In just over an hour, we built 28 beds, which means 28 kids will have a safe place to sleep!

We had the honor of welcoming home club member Dale Shipley and all the veterans of Honor Flight Columbus, Inc. Mission 145. Their joy was unforgettable and reminded us of the sacrifices made for our freedoms. Thank you to Rotary District 6690 for giving Rotarians the opportunity to take part in this special Honor Flight!
