Titusville Sunrise Rotary Club Diaper Drive
TITUSVILLE - The Titusville Sunrise Rotary Club has recently learned that underprivileged parents do not receive any assistance for the purchase of baby diapers. This lack of assistance has led many parents to try and "stretch" the life of diapers by reusing them, thus creating a serious health hazard for the children.
In an effort to improve the health of our local children, the Titusville Sunrise Rotary Club is conducting a Diaper Drive. The club will accept donations of cash and/or disposable diapers that will be given to The North Brevard Sharing Center for distribution. Please contact Club President Brian Baker if you would like to contribute; he can be reached at 321.267.7072.
The Titusville Sunrise Rotary Club welcomes local business people to visit the club any Tuesday. The breakfast meeting begins at 7:15 am every Tuesday at La Cita Country Club. Rotary International is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.
