Volunteers needed for the community service project on Saturday,

Cross and the Davenport Fire Department to distribute educational
materials for fire prevention and safety and emergency procedures in the home. We
hope to reach 600 homes. The time commitment is 8:30 AM—Noon. Rotarians will
work in conjunction with Red Cross volunteers and the fire department to hand out materials in
targeted Davenport neighborhoods. Parking will be in a designated spot and the Red Cross will
provide vehicles and volunteers to transport everyone around the community. To volunteer, contact
