Rotary Collects Children's Books

After rain- rain- rain, the skies cleared for our much-anticipated Rotary Club Sunset Cruise onboard generous Rotary member, Bill Kohut's, fabulous 55-foot Hatteras yacht. Sailing from the Esplanade docks, each guest was greeted with a glass of champagne and long stem rose for the ladies, compliments of our gracious host, Bill. A colorful rainbow graced the sky along with dramatic clouds from the leftover storm as we boarded Lady Joanna. Dancing dolphins entertained us on the bow as we cruised out of Collier Bay to the Marco Pass and Rex De Jaager entertained us with festive music. Mangoes catered the delectable feast on board and fun and fellowship were enjoyed by all. Bill added the Rotary "Service to the Community" touch by requesting the Rotary guests bring children's books as their "boarding pass” to donate to local children. The book collection was a big success and the cruise a "nautical blast" in crew member Tom Menaker's words! Thank you, Bill, for your gracious generosity.
