Nearly 1,500 people of all ages got to experience Rotary in action at the second annual Growlfest at Virginia Zoo on September 16. The Norfolk Sunrise Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Norfolk collaborated on this evening party to raise funds for the zoo and area charities supported by the two Rotary clubs. Rotarians planned the event in partnership with the zoo staff and volunteered as greeters, beer servers and handing out growlers as guests left. Thanks go to Bryce Burton and Collins Gooch of our club for leading our club's effort and to the many club members who attended, invited family and friends and who volunteered. Pictured above are Rotarian Ashley Molinaro from our club and her daughter Paige. They got to enjoy the zoo animals, bounce house and games led by the Y on Granby staff before Ashley volunteered at Growlfest.
