Growlfest, one of the Rotary Club of Norfolk's major fundraisers, is back for its sixth year on Saturday, September 10, at Virginia Zoo from 5 to 9 p.m. Look for sign-up information to come soon since volunteers are needed. Note: volunteers will need to buy tickets. In addition to benefiting our club, Growlfest proceeds help Virginia Zoo and the Sunrise Rotary Club.
This fun evening event is for all ages so please invite family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. While craft beer and cider will be available for adults who buy drinking tickets, there also are youth and non-drinking adult tickets for sale. Children under 2 are free. Guests will get to see zoo animals in the evenings and enjoy games. Adults with drinking tickets get six tickets that let them enjoy a variety of craft beverages plus the first 1,000 ticket buyers get a commemorative glass when they exit the zoo. Food trucks will be on site to provide dinner. Ticket prices increase on September 5. Learn more and buy tickets: https://virginiazoo.org/event/growlfest2022/
Our Rotary Club is doesn't have to look far to find fascinating speakers. On July 19, our member Lois Kercher enthralled us with details about the day President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981 in Washington, D.C. and her role as a nurse in caring for him at the hospital. Lois brought with her the letter the president wrote thanking her for the expertise she provided. She also shared a link to a docudrama about how Reagan was saved that features the actual medical staff, including Lois:
