Any donations go toward programs like Adopt a classroom -all 3rd and 4th grade classrooms in 2022/3
This program allows a community member to sponsor a Transylvania classroom. The $300 donation is provided to the teacher to spend as they wish on classroom related projects or items.
This year we will also be adding the opportunity for an adopting community member to go into the classroom to assist the teacher. Over time we hope to adopt all classrooms in Transylvania.
Ask how you can adopt.

“My philosophy in life has been to say “yes” to a challenge and then work out how to get it done. But “if not us, then who?” is the standard I will apply”. Said President Dexter-Smith.
“It is my pleasure to welcome you, as a new member if you wish, to a new and, without question, very busy, upcoming Brevard Rotary “Community Impact year”. Our thanks to past President Peter for a hugely successful year in 2020/1. The Club is on an upward trajectory now, with new younger members joining every month.”
