The Rotary Club of Salisbury, in its 105th year of service to our community, has been recognized by the MAC Center, the local agency on aging, for a quarter of a century of support of the Meals on Wheels program that provides free meals to needy elderly persons in the county. More significantly, the Wicomico County Commission on Aging, has selected the club’s Meals on Wheels coordinator Ace Parker, who has headed the program for those 25 years, as one of its volunteers of the year.
For 25 years, Mr. Parker has been leading, organizing, and scheduling dozens of club members to deliver meals, making the Rotary Club of Salisbury the only civic organization providing such support. During these years of volunteer participation, club members have delivered 110,000 meals while saving the Meals on Wheels program $460,000 in transportation costs as club members use their own vehicles. Mr. Parker’s years of program leadership is just one example of members of the Rotary Club of Salisbury being People of Action.
The Rotary Club of Salisbury, a member organization whose product is service, welcomes new members interested in fellowship, fun, and helping their community. Contact Ginnie Malone at 410-251-6188 or gmalone@cbmove.com to learn more or visit www.rotarysalisbury.org. The club meets weekly on Thursday evenings for dinner at the Rotary Scout and Community Center along Riverside Drive near Salisbury.
