THE WAY THINGS OUGHT TO BE

The Suffolk Rotary Club and Peanut Proud partnered recently to lend a hand by donating funds and collecting and assembling goods to create 48 baskets for teachers left with nothing following the devastating spring tornados in Hackleburg, Ala. “Both the Suffolk Rotary Club and Peanut Proud believe in assisting with humanitarian efforts in our local community and around the world. This partnership is an example of the wonderful humanitarian work the Suffolk Rotary Club does for the greater community.” AMEN we say, and most Civic organizations find ways to raise funds to give.
I’m proud to be a member of the Chuckatuck Ruitan where thousands of dollars from an annual Oyster Roast are distributed to worthy causes. And Chuckatuck Firemen devote themselves to a pair of Fish Frys. I, like the Tourist Director, can’t come up with figures proving anything, but I will wager the total raised and spent in Suffolk would make us all proud.
