Gulf Breeze Rotary Club As usual, the Rotarians of Gulf Breeze are busy doing many things, helping with many needs, planning many events and accomplishing many goals. The Gumbo Cook-Off is scheduled for Saturday, March 1. In the Jan. 8 meeting, International Service Chair Cherry Fitch and Sparkie Folkers spoke about the Rotary Club's mission trip to Peru. Folkers discussed what the Rotary does for the underprivileged in a small town outside of Lima located on the side of a mountain. In this small town, the poorest people live the highest up the mountain. All supplies must be brought up the mountain by hand or by hand and foot. The next Rotary Trip to Peru will be Feb. 2 through 10. The group, which will consist of Rotarians from around the district along with some non- Rotarians, will be building houses in the area of Project Hope outside of Lima. The cost to participate is about $1,600, which includes air, hotel, transportation and meals. A $100 deposit is needed to secure a spot. It is only $500 to sponsor a house to be built in Peru and sponsorships are open to the public. The Rotarians are always working. Contact Sparkie at 850- 932-0595 or sparkie@folkers.com if you are interested in participating. |
