Greetings
Rotarians & Friends!
Last week we celebrated
Isaacβs 1st Birthday! Thank you, Carla, for bringing your sweet boy to the meeting and thank you for the yummy cupcakes!!
What a blessing it is to be a part of our
growing Rotary family.
We also welcomed our DGD Janice Lowers who spoke to us about the upcoming District Humanitarian Trip to Barbados.
Such wonderful, worthy service projects that fill me with pride - our District continues to extend our helping hands to so many different countries in need.

What to do get when you combine
PLAYA VENICE ROTARY, BINGO and
ST.PATRICK'S DAY?
The 14th ANNUAL
"BINGOFEST" was nothing short of extraordinary
and has become a much anticipated
community event!
PVSR'S SIGNATURE Fun-draiser
has certainly become one of our
Clubβs Signature Events!! So much fun and the luck of the Irish
was felt by many!
We are so grateful for the generosity
of our Event Sponsors,
especially the Stephanie Younger Group,
Gail Goldstein and Rob Bird, Game Sponsors, volunteers and all those who
contributed to our Silent Auction.

The evening was a huge success and we are happy to report that we exceeded our fundraising goals which is great news
for our Clubβs Service Projects and community programs!
Hats off to the Bingofest committee
for an outstanding job!!
