RECAP JULY 21 MEETING: MR. AL STOKES

We would like to thank our Guest Speaker Mr. Al Stokes, the former director of Waddell Mariculture Center for a very informative lecture on the advances in US Marine Shrimp Production Technology. Always a pleasure having Al visit BRC and sharing his expert knowledge of our local marine life.

RISE AGAINST HUNGER PROJECT

Area 4 Rotary Clubs’ Rise Against Hunger (RAH): Ms. Mary Briggs, president of the HHI Rotary Club and Ms. Hunter Dye, project lead for RAH for the Sunset Rotary Club, were interviewed this month on WHHI-TV to help promote our event, encourage participation and to raise awareness of Rotary Clubs in our area.

We would like to thank Mary and Hunter for your contributions and commitment! Also, Dot Jeger for coordinating this opportunity to help get the word out! Rotarians, friends, family, and acquaintance's are welcome and encouraged to sign up as volunteers or donate for such a worthwhile and fun project.
