Plymouth Rotary Club is honored to support the Presents with Public Safety Event this season. With funds donated to the event, City of Plymouth Police Officers and Plymouth Firefighters will distribute wrapped gifts containing a gift card to area families in need. COVID has caused financial stress for many and this would be a way for them not only to buy gifts, but basic necessities. Pictured (l-r) is Rotarian James Williams, City of Plymouth Police Chief Mike Goldstein, Community Relations Officer Jim Long and Rotarian Peter Bartling. City officials will be delivering gift cards next week to families.
