Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 16 starting at 5:30 p.m. for one of the most fun spring events -- our own Suds & Buds party with a purpose at Norfolk Botanical Garden while the roses are at their peak. This will be the eighth Suds & Buds party sponsored by the Rotary Club of Norfolk in partnership with the garden. As always, we will have a special third charitable partner. This year it is Special Olympics of Virginia-Chesapeake. Proceeds will benefit all three nonprofits. Please plan to buy tickets and encourage your friends, neighbors, colleagues and adult children to attend. Tickets are available now by clicking here. Your help is also needed in securing more sponsors and serving as as volunteers.
