This week I wanted to talk about Hampton Rotary Club. As president of this amazing group of people, I want people to know that just like all other Rotary Clubs, we are having hard times raising money so that we can give back to our communities. In our case, all of our fundraising usually comes in the month of September, when we do the Seafood Festival and the Reach the Beach road race. Both of these events have been canceled!
So we have to start thinking outside the box for a way to raise money so we can continue to support all of the groups that ask us for our help. There are way too many to list but a very important one for us is helping out the six major food pantries in the Hampton area.
This brings us to our first event: This Sunday, Aug. 16, Hampton Rotary is holding its first car wash! It’ll be held at Hampton Computer, 821 Lafayette Road in Hampton, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., and it’s only $10 a car. All the money raised will go right back to organizations that need help right here in our community.
