Great meeting today at Rotary‼️⚙️

Huge thanks to Brenda Moore for coming out to speak with us about generational differences and how they shape the ways we think, act, and communicate.

While we couldn't quite reach a consensus on which generation reigns supreme, everyone had a great time sharing perspectives and enjoying the discussion!

We were delighted to welcome Mark Sanderson with the Open Arms Shelter to Bonham Rotary meeting this week. Mark gave a brief history of the shelter and his involvement. The shelter started in 2015. Mark came to work at the shelter in August of 2021 after retiring from a long career in law enforcement. Mark defined homeless people as your neighbors. To be at this shelter for more than a day or two, you have to have a local connection. It's not just a place to stay. They require you to work or look for work in order to get back on your feet. Mark said that they have a 75% success rate right now. They are 81% above where they were last year because of their new, larger facility. He also stated that 54% of all who come through have some type of mental health issues. Currently, they have 11 at the shelter with a 30 person capacity. The benefits to the community is it reduces the burden on other local resources. Open Arms Shelter provides free meals even if folks are not staying at the shelter. The Bonham Rotary Club donates all the food left after every weekly meeting to the shelter. Mark thanked the Rotary Club for their support and said that they would not exist without the community support.

For donations to the Open Arms Shelter, call 903-449-4451 or email them at www.oashelter,com.
