FREEPORT, Grand Bahama -- The Rotary Club of Grand Bahama Sunrise is gearing up for its second annual Conch Festival and The Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA) is pleased to lend its support.
Slated to be held at Taino Beach Park Saturday, March 16th, proceeds from the event are earmarked for community service projects being performed by the club, in particular the Big Brother and Sister programme (with the Children's Home), and the Safe Swim Buoy Project.
Whilst making a cheque donation, GBPA's Director of Community Relations, Geneva Rutherford offered commendation. "It is really a pleasure on behalf of GBPA to lend our support for this venture because the Rotary clubs have done so much for the development of the island.  They have been one of the premier groups that always assist in so many different ways."
President Elect of the Rotary Club of Grand Bahama Sunrise, and Conch Festival Chairman, Wayne Russell, graciously accepted the cheque.  According to Russell, donations such as this allow the club to effectively advertise the event, so as to draw more patrons to enjoy an afternoon of food and fun, filled with mouth-watering conch delicacies.  "The Port Authority has always given us good support. They believe and trust that when we take the funds, we're using it for very good reasons," he noted.  "We wish to thank them and our other corporate sponsors for all of the help that they give us which ensures that we are able to put on a really big event."
