At our membership meeting tonight (Thursday, 2/26) we will be distributing Gala tickets for members to sell to Rotary Clubs and individuals. During the meeting our guest speaker will be Lucretia Miller – Duval County Public Schools Teacher of the Year 2008. Stick around after and attend dinner at Five Guys Burgers in Five Points and help raise money for our Black Tie, Blue Jeans Gala. Mention DLC or Rotaract at Five Guys anytime between 4-10 and Five Guys will contribute money towards the Gala and DLC.

We look forward to seeing you at the membership meeting and dinner at Five Guys afterwards. For more information e-mail info@jaxrotaract.org.

Our January community service event took place on Saturday the 31st at DLC Nurse & Learn. DLC is the beneficiary for this year’s Black Tie, Blue Jeans Gala. We had a great turnout to help cleanup the center doing yardwork, carpet cleaning and painting with help from the Bishop Kenny Interact club.
