Relay Roundup
Thanks to our club for a successful 2012 Relay for Life event on April 13! Our team raised $367 at the event with tent sales, in addition to contributing a $1000 stage sponsorship. The event in total raised just under $100,000 for cancer research. Thanks to those who helped in the booth and/or came by to visit, and to our special contributors Holly Sliz, Melissa Fahy, and Michelle Palisi. Lastly, thanks to Judy Galatolo and Donna Leonard for helping bring in 6 students to assist as well; it was great to spend time with them that weekend.
While the festivities and hoopla may be over, Relay 2012 is not. Our team is still accepting contributions both in person and on this website, as well as on our Team Page on the Relay for Life website. |
Rotary and Interact Working Together
Saturday, March 10, 2012. The Rotary Club of Port Richey and the Interact Club of Ridgewood High School combined forces today in the Rotary club-sponsored Adopt-A-Highway program. The two clubs, accompanied by faculty advisors, met early for a buffet-style breakfast at Caposey's Whole Works restaurant at Highway 19 and Green Key Rd. Owner Nancy Caposey and her amazing staff provided a hot and bountiful breakfast with all the trimmings to fuel the now swelling ranks of volunteers invading the last remaining space. More than 30 Rotarians, Interact students, family members, and other volunteers started their day early with great Rotary fellowship and a worthwhile community project to complete.
After breakfast, the crowd assembled in the parking lot with bags, gloves, flags, safety vests, and other assorted cleanup items. With the two clubs combined and now redivided into East and West teams and were issued 20 safety vests and two flags. Each team now organized with a leader, crew, driver, and flagman, they set out to scour the two miles of Highway 19, heading North and ending at the Ridge Road intersection. With team members ranging in age from 16 to over 65, the pace varied, with the final groups crossing the finish line 90 or so minutes later, leaving a sparkling roadside through Port Richey. Many thanks to Donna Leonard, Judy Galatolo, and the outstanding Interact students of Ridgeview High School for being an instrumental part making this ongoing project a success.

 The Rotary Club of Port Richey is pleased and proud to announce that we have nominated Lisa Shippy-Gonzalez for Queen Chasco and Tom Kurtzer for King Pithla for this year's Chasco Fiesta. They are both well deserving and very involved in the community and we wish them well. Congratulations!
The King and Queen are chosen for their dedication and commitment to our community. Organizations are encouraged to submit the names of deserving community volunteers, as this is a rare opportunity to  acknowledge those people who have helped to make our community a better place to live. The King and Queen are chosen by independent judges, not associated with the Lighthouse in any way. The judges review each nominee questionnaire and statistically rate their contributions to the community.
