Many people have seen the Rotary logo or heard of Rotary in one place or another , but few truly know what it means to be a Rotarian . “ What it means to be a Rotarian is very personal to me as I was lucky enough to be part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program as a teenager , says Public Image Chair Mari Perroni . “ Now , many years later , I ’ m honored to be part of the Ponte Vedra Club .”
Being a Rotarian means : “ Service Above Self .” Rotary is a club that provides volunteer services not only to the local community but also on an international scale . And what better way to have the opportunity to bring the community together than by being there for one another ?
The Ponte Vedra Club , in the last four years , has volunteered and helped raise money for many projects and non-profit organizations around St . Johns County . Some of the club ’ s work includes at-home family-friendly service projects during social distancing , Blessing in a Backpack helping local kids in need have food for the holidays , Autism Speaks Annual Walk for Autism and many more . In late May , the club hosted the Annual Rotary Duck Race benefiting Learn to Read of St . Johns County . Learn to
Read is a non-profit organization that teaches free one-on-one literacy and English as a second language .
If you ’ re inspired to help your community , you can visit the Ponte Vedra Rotary Club on Tuesdays at 7:30 a . m . at Treylor Park in Nocatee , where members make lasting connections with like-minded individuals while brainstorming ideas to aid those in need .
Treylor Park is located at 158 Marketside Avenue , Nocatee , FL 32081 .
