The combined efforts of the Southern Rensselaer County Rotary Club and its frequent partners at the Greenbush YMCA helped make Circles of Mercy’s annual Easter basket drive a success again.

We were able to provide baskets for 35 underprivileged kids in the community. Thanks to Len Leonidas’s Cub Scouts for assembling many of the baskets from items donated by SRC members.

While the overall number of baskets was less than in previous years, last year we overachieved to such a degree that Circles of Mercy received many more than it could handle and wound up sharing them with other family aid agencies.

Thanks to all who participated in any way to another in a long line of successful public service endeavors.
