Our third outdoor “Summer Casual Event” took place Thursday at Jim Leyhane’s residence, co-hosted by Roberto Martinez.

About two dozen adults and kids showed up to enjoy the hot tub, the pool, the buffet, and the fellowship. All the social distancing rules were in place, and many guests dropped off donations to our “School Supplies Drive.”

Our next two SRC events are a ZOOM virtual meeting at 6 p.m. next Thursday, and a 6 p.m. dinner meeting at Quigley’s the following Thursday, August 20.

Debbie Rodriguez has delivered two loads of school items to Circles of Mercy, but more are needed and time is running short to donate.

If you still haven’t dropped off your donations from the recommended shopping list we’ve shared numerous times, you can drop them off (1) at the Drumm Veterinary Hospital on Columbia Turnpike during normal office hours through Wednesday, August 19, or (2) bring them to the meeting at Quigley’s on the 20th.

As to the latter, Debbie will not be attending the meeting, but she will be in the parking lot to accept donations before the meeting. She will deliver the final items the next morning to Circles of Mercy.
