Small in numbers big in heart! I'm amazed at how welcoming everyone has been so far. Breakfast at Great Bridge in Chesapeake, VA on a golf course, which makes for a nice backdrop for a meeting. Jim Arnold was kind enough to set up the logistics of my visit and President Sommers graciously gave me ample time to discuss my mission. This visit set me up for another opportunity to take part in a fundraiser. Great Bridge is jointly holding a Wine Festival with The Rotary Club of Chesapeake. (Information below)
The speaker Jeannie Martin spoke about the Tidewater Youth Services Foundation; this group is making a difference one youth at a time.
The meal cost was $12 and the club members added an amazing $63 for a total of $75. I thank each of you and End Polio pins will be forth coming. I wasn't expecting clubs to add to my meal donation, so when clubs offer up Happy Dollars and matching donations it is really touching.
