Paint Your Heart Out
The Rotary Club of Hampton Roads joined with the Rotary Club of Chesapeake for the 21st Annual event. We had 20 Rotarians, family members and volunteers help paint a house and spruce up the yard for a family in Chesapeake. You see the photos on the photobucket page by using the links in the menu on the left under "Club Photos".
Adopt-A-Highway Off To A Great Start
The Adopt-A-Highway season began Saturday April 7, 2012. Responding to Head Streetwalker Dianne Gordonn's impassioned plea for maximum effort, a dozen hard-chargers collected 12 bags of some of the most awesome trash from our stretch of Princess Anne Rd. Rumor has it that some Easter eggs were found. The picker-uppers were Pete Griffin, Dave Johnson, Barry Kimbrough, Chester Long, Dave Mansfield, Joe Mulkerrin, David Rosenthal, Dick Shea, Chan Zucker and the Saunders crew of Seth, Hunter and Carson.

Another Successful Year for the Bowl-A-Thon
The Club held it's annual Bowl-A-Thon on February 4 at AMF Little Creek Lanes in Norfolk to a crowd that filled 50 lanes and raised almost $40,000. The highlight of this years event was the raffle for a chance to win an IPAD 2. The proceeds from the event will be distributed to local organizations that benefit children, as well as the Rotary Foundation.
