The Executive Board of the Rotary Clubs of Gainesville Foundation have just wrapped up finalizing the short form application for 501(c)(3) organizations who work within Alachua County to use to put their name and project into the 2027 Wild Game Feast proverbial grant hat. Very soon we'll be inviting you to click on a link to the start of a fun ride!

See you on Monday.

Yesterday’s Rotary meeting was a great one! We started with a New Member Craft Talk, where we had the chance to learn more about Patrick Foran and welcome him to the Rotary family.

We would also like to thank Keara Clancy with the Alachua Conservation Trust for joining us and sharing how the CrEEK Program is helping nearly 2,500 local K-12 students connect with nature through hands-on outdoor learning.

Thank you, Keara, for sharing the impact of this important program!

What a lovely piece about a lovely man who has impacted the skyline of Gainesville and surrounding areas in such an impactful way over the years. His story was incredibly interesting and we we delighted to honor him with our annual E.T and Vam York Service Above Self Award on Tuesday.

Thrilled the joy of providing underwear to our students has spread to other clubs in our area! Thank you Rotary Club of Greater Gainesville, you guys are the best!

Supporting Our Community! 🎒

At Rotary, we believe in uplifting our fellow clubs, especially when their efforts directly benefit our community. This year, the Rotary Club of Gainesville is hosting their annual “Un**es” drive, collecting new underwear to distribute to local elementary schools before the new school year begins.

We’re proud to contribute to this wonderful cause and help ensure that every child starts the school year with the essentials they need. Let’s work together to make a difference!

There is still time (and need) for underwear and donations to buy underwear.

Share this post on your own timeline so people YOU know who are not Rotarians can find out about this awesome project that makes a difference to students in our world.

A small investment from you (or someone like you) will turn a frown upside back to a smile when accidents happen at school.

Often overlooked, but much needed by our schools - NEW UNDERWEAR. Each year our club has donated thousands of pairs of un**es to Alachua County Public Schools so they can help our students quickly return to class to minimal embarrassment.

Everyone deserves the dignity of a dry t**h!

QR Codes will take to either our Amazon Wish List OR PayPal for monetary donations. Both are very welcome. If you shop through our wish list, the un**es will go straight to Kelley at the District for distribution.

Thank you everyone who makes this a successful project for our kids.

Un**es were spotted (and striped and plain too!) at this week's Rotary meeting. Remember to bring your donations tomorrow to our meeting, or your check, we don't mind which!

Let's make this year a great year for dry bottoms in our schools!
