Thank You Rotary Club of St. Pete Sunset!
February 12th, 2012
YEY! We did it!!! I am so proud of our club! What a cold & gorgeous morning it was for a half marathon in downtown St. Pete today! Even though it was 13.1 miles, I was energized by my fellow running Rotarians, friends along the race course, and the awesome Rotary cheerleaders on the pier! This “Rotary Rocks the Half” event was done to benefit the Children’s Dream Fund, Rotary International and the Sunset Rotary Foundation. Meredith, thank you for your incredible leadership on this event! It was a huge success! And thank you Rotary Club of St. Pete Sunset for being the best Rotary club in the world!
Yours in Service,
Daphne
