President Jennifer Bates Message

Last Friday all seven of the Area 1 Clubs of District 7000 combined to support the Llorens Torres Turkey Races at Parque Barbosa in Ocean Park.

 

It is the first time ever that all Area 1 Clubs joined forces in a community service project. As president of our club, I hope to see more of this kind of collaboration. The Area 1 clubs are San Juan, Rio Piedras, Monacillos, e-Club of Puerto Rico, Santurce, Carolina and Guaynabo. Thank you to all!!!

 

Also attending was Sylvia Maisonet our District 7000 Governor, who praised the activity and saw that the kids were having a great time.

 

We hope to make it a tradition, so next year we will be raising money for this same event that will benefit more and more families as each year goes by.

 

We raised a total of $2,000 and gave away 184 turkeys to local families. A total of six local schools received turkeys, and they all expressed thanks for our efforts.

 

Many thanks to our own Angela Schlump, who was the leader of getting the schools organized and appealing to Costco for the final "deal" where the turkeys were purchased. She worked hard to get as many turkeys as we could.
