TITUSVILLE SUNRISE ROTARY CLUB SCAVENGER HUNT
TITUSVILLE - The Titusville Sunrise Rotary Club recently hosted their first Scavenger Hunt fundraiser. Teams were given a list of 30 clues that directed them to locations in and around Titusville. Upon arriving at a Hunt location, the teams took a photo of their entire team holding a Scavenger Hunt sign in front of a specific item at the site. The teams had 2 hours to solve as many clues as possible and were awarded points for each correct and complete photograph.
The Hunt brought out the competitive nature in the participants with teams doing their best to avoid each other as they searched for Hunt locations. Competitive or not, team members had a great time trying to solve the clues and take their photographs. Comments such as "that's the most fun I've had in a long time" and "what a great idea" were heard over and over again as the teams returned to the start/end point. Upon returning, team photographs were reviewed and points were awarded for correct/complete photos. After all the points were totaled, the Don't Stop Believin' team was declared the winner and received $200 in cash. In addition, the team members received large magnifying glasses to help them in future Hunts! The winning team included Pam Avery, Steve Avery, Holly Woolsey and Louis Schreiber.
Many thanks to the "Chief Detective Sponsors" that generously supported the Hunt: Aja Salon and Day Spa, Ameriprise, Bristow Academy, Coldwell Banker (Lisa Mosier), Dixie Crossroads, Karan & Company LLC, North Brevard Funeral Home, North Brevard Tires, Ron Norris, Space Walk of Fame, Sunrise Animal Hospital, Valiant Air Command and Vitas.

TITUSVILLE SUNRISE ROTARY FULFILLS SCHOOL WISH LISTS
Titusville ?After hearing about the continued need for school supplies at local schools, the members of the Titusville Sunrise Rotary Club contacted the Brevard County School Board to see how they could help. The club members were directed to Mims and Pinewood Elementary Schools and received "wish lists" from each of the schools.
Club President Father Richard Pobjecky happily announced that "we were fortunate to be able to fulfill most every request made by the schools." Club members Dawn Kling, Denny Meneghelli, Lisa Mosier, Bob Socks and Dan Wolfe were on hand to deliver the supplies to the schools this past Tuesday. First stop, Pinewood Elementary School; Principal Donna Neill was delighted with the delivery, "Pinewood is absolutely thrilled to receive the generous donation of school supplies from the Sunrise Rotary Club!
These materials will allow our teachers to do their job more effectively as well as ensure our students have the supplies they need to perform well at school. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." The next stop was at Mims Elementary School, where Principal Debra Crannell stated "Mims Elementary staff, students and parents are so appreciative of the school supplies! Thanks to our many local clubs and businesses we are able to provide necessary supplies for students to have a successful year."
