Rotary Club of Bonita Springs Noon School Backpack Project Benefits Bonita 4th Graders

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - Sept. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- For the seventh year in a row, The Rotary Club of Bonita Springs Noon supplied backpacks filled with school supplies to every fourth grader at Bonita Springs Elementary School. The project was coordinated with the assistance of Estero High School students, Isabella Wilkinson and Jake Dorn.  The students were responsible for the majority of the backpack and supply purchases with money donated by the Rotary club and filling the backpacks under the direction of Rotary club members Philip Roach and Scott Hunter. The students then coordinated and participated in the distribution.

The Rotary club works with the high school in providing students the opportunity to participate in a service project and gain real world experience in budgeting, allocating, planning and implementation.  In addition students get to see the results of their efforts when they participate in the actual school distribution, providing a fulfilling end to the month long project which they were instrumental in helping bring to fruition.

The Rotary Club of Bonita Springs Noon was chartered in 1992 and is made up of business professionals who come together to serve the community and promote their vocations. Over 34,000 Rotary Clubs can be found in over 200 countries and geographical areas worldwide. To date the Rotary Club of Bonita Springs Noon has donated over $200,000 to charities.
