Wilmington Central Rotary created a sea of Flamingos on display at the front lawn of Strickland’s during the months of February/March.
Flamingos are “In Memory or In Honor” of someone special. 100% of the proceeds went to support two projects of Surfers Healing, non-profits doing great work in our community.
The mission of Surfers Healing is to enrich the lives of people living with autism by exposing them to the unique experience of surfing. Surfers Healing is the original surf camp for children with autism and offer all camps free of charge.
Wilmington Central Rotary plans to purchase:
On December 17th Rotarians and community leaders will be locked up at Strickland’s on Oleander drive. The jailbirds have to raise money to get the keys to freedom. Money raised will go to Josie Godwin who needs help purchasing a prosthetic leg and will help fund the building of the supply store at Eden Village – a home for homeless folks.
On October 12 the recipients of this quarter’s philanthropy were at our meeting.
They include:
