DISTRICT EVENT ! !
August 24, 2024 - 11 A.M. to - 5 P.M. Family Fun Day at McCleod State Park in Kiln, MS. The District will provide hamburgers and hot dogs, a live band, and a tent. There is a splash pad, basketball court, and playground for the kiddos as well as a nature trail. The park has an 18-hole disc golf course, and 3 sets of cornhole boards! This is a great opportunity for our Family of Rotary to enjoy a relaxing afternoon together. District Governor Sam is asking that each territory plan a side dish to contribute to the family meal. This is an inaugural Rotary District 6840 social event. Let’s set a goal for a minimum of 10 from our club to attend.
Please try to attend and let me know what we should cook!
