Rotaract Club of Freeport Encourages Beach Adoption - Aug 22, 2012 - 1:03:48 PM
Freeport, GBI –
On Saturday, August 11th, members of the Rotaract Club of Freeport
conducted a clean-up at Silver Point Beach (immediately east of Island Seas
Resort), where they picked up several bags of garbage over a few hours.

adopt this portion of Silver Point Beach, which is a popular location for
locals to have parties, to be cleaned up a few times a year. The fact that
numerous bags of garbage are picked up each trip is evidence that littering on
one of this island’s greatest resources it still a major problem...

Rotary Club of Lucaya gives through The Dictionary Project - Apr 2, 2012 - 10:25:21 PM
Freeport, Grand Bahama -
The idea for The Dictionary Project began in 1992 when Annie Plummer of
Savannah, Georgia, gave 50 dictionaries to children who attended a
school close to her home. Each year she continued to give this gift,
raising money to help give more and more books so that in her lifetime
she raised enough money to buy 17,000 dictionaries for children in
Savannah. The program has been adopted and refined by individuals,
businesses, and civic organizations all over the world by groups such as
Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs, Lions Clubs and many more, have
implemented The Dictionary Project where they live. Since its
implementation in 1995, over 16 million children have received
dictionaries because thousands of people saw the same need in
communities all over the United States and as of recent in the Bahamas.
