Relay
For Life
You'll find the Jeffersonville Rotary Club at the annual Relay for
Life event each year
as we work to provide participation and financial support to this
effort. Our team stayed on the track for the full 12 hours and raised
$1,600 for a great charity. Good job Rotary!
Clean
Water for a Thirsty World
Our club raised $9,600 in 2005 to sponsor water purifiers for developing
countries. Our six water purification systems will provide safe,
clean drinking water for six villages in Africa, Shri Lanka, and
India. With more than 25,000 people dying daily from contaminated
water, we all need to help solve this world crisis! Visit www.waterfortheworld.com
to help sponsor a water putifier.
Angel
Tree
Annually, our Club raises money, often in competition with our neighboring
clubs
of Clarksville, and New Albany, to support the needs of the many
children in
Clark and Floyd County during the Holiday Season.
Family
of Rotary
Our 2005 Club project created by our Family of Rotary Committee
was a "Day on the Sunnyside." Each member was provided
with a disposable, 35mm camera and on May 3rd, everyone took pictures
of their family activities. All photos were put into categories
and we voted on the best images. Click
here to see our Family of Rotary winners! A special thanks to
Roger Fisher and Budget Print Shops for doing the film developing.
