Week of 6-6-16

The President’s Corner

June 9, 2016

Greetings! Thank you to all of those Rotaractors that came to South Jax Rotary’s event at the Alhambra last week Wednesday.

We have a membership meeting this week on Thursday.  It’s our second to last meeting of the Rotary year!
We have both our social & service event still to occur this month, see details below!

Fundraiser for Bottle School Project – June 16th
Beaches Rotaract is hosting a fundraiser with funds going to Hug It Forward & the Bottle School Project.  We heard about this project back in March from the Daytona State Rotaract President.  We donated to the project as a club, but this is another way we can also support this project.  The event is on Thursday, June 16th from 5:30-7 at Table 1 in Ponte Vedra. It’s a wine tasting with small bites.  It’s $25 with $20 of that twenty-five going towards the project.  You can purchase tickets through eventbrite on their facebook event page.

Have a great week!

Community Service


Save the Date: Saturday, June 11th
Our June service event is Dreams Come True, an event put on by PRI Productions. The event is on Saturday, June 11, 2016. We will be doing the second shift where we will be helping out with game stations, food, and other activities.

All volunteers need to sign up. I went ahead and reserved 10 spots for our group. So the first ten members to comment in this post that they are interested will be given those spots. If you have indicated you will be present and are one of the ten to have said so, please email Andrea(andrea@dreamscometrue.org) and let her know you are with First Coast Rotaract and give her your shirt size. Andrea will email you a volunteer application which MUST be completed prior to the event.

Once ten spots are filled, additionals volunteer will have to sign up on this link (http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0a4ba5ac2ea1fe3-dream4).
