Cnafield Rotary Club recently hosted Paula Kalaman of the Hope House Visitation Center as its guest speaker. Hope House provides a safe, homelike atmosphere where supervised visitations and exchanges can take place when there are issues of divorce, separation, or safety concerns for children. It is a nonprofit public charity primarily funded by federal, state and private grants. Kalaman shared a “wish list” for the center and the Rotary took a collection at it’s Valentine Dinner and Dance. A “Shop and Drop” was planned. Four of the Rotarians shopped and members delivered supplies to the Hope House. Above, from left, are Carolina Castelli-Figley, chairwoman of the Valentine Dinner/Dance; Margot Baird, Rotary president; Jane Perrett, treasurer; and Sieglinde Warren, immediate past district Rotary governor. Canfield Rotary meets every Friday at noon at the community building at Fair Park.
