The Virginia Beach Rotary Club values all members of our community. To this end, each year we present the Doors to Opportunity Award to a local business that not only employs people with disabilities, but provides support and encouragement to ensure that each team member is working to their fullest potential. Additionally, our club presents the Special Achievement Award, which recognizes an employee within that business that has shown impressive growth during his or her time of employment, despite his or her different abilities.
Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. Since 1982, Operation Smile has provided hundreds of thousands of free surgeries for children from more than 60 countries. We visited the headquarters right here in Virginia Beach and filled Smile Bags, small gifts of hygiene products and fun toys for children to have after surgery.
The mighty King Neptune provided "following seas" to our group of members and volunteers during the 43rd annual Neptune Festival September 30-October 2. We sold almost $30,000 in your favorite domestic brews and our proceeds will directly benefit local nonprofits through our annual grant distributions. Last year's earnings supported 12 local well-deserving nonprofits recommended by our members.
