The Club is thrilled to host the 18th Annual Kentucky Derby Party and Auction on Saturday May 6th from 5:30 to 8:30!  This event brings items from all corners from golf outings and beach barbecues to fine clothing and complete wine cellars.  There is a silent auction for smaller items and a live auction featuring auctioneer and State Senator Bruce Tarr for the big ticket items including an 80 inch smart television!  We will watch the Derby race live, there will be a non-betting lottery on the outcome, a hat contest with the best woman's and men's hat winning a bottle of real Kentucky bourbon and a bouquet of roses.  An excellent buffet dinner will be served throughout the evening, cash bar (yes mint julep), and best of all we are raising money for local scholarships, food banks and international projects. So put on your Derby hats and be ready to have a fun time with fun people. Tickets can be purchased in advance online or from a member for $30 or at the door $40 follow the link below to buy online.

This event is supported by Beverly Bootstraps. All volunteers welcome.

David McKechnie is a Gloucester Rotarian, and he would like to come and speak about their international project at a school in Rwanda and see if some other clubs would like to piggyback with them to get a big project underway. .  David is very involved with the school personally (he and his wife along with 4 other Valmark Securities offices raised $25,000.00 to buy property to build a school on a hill in Rwanda).  They have continued to support the school with additional buildings and projects and now they are building a medical clinic near the school to support the school and surrounding area and seeking support for a much-needed generator.  David just visited the school in the Spring of 2022.  We have lots of pictures and videos we could share.

We will be serving BBQ dinner to the winners of our Kentucky Derby Auction. The event starts at 5pm and goes till 8pm and will be serving about 60 people plus ourselfs. This is a fun event so please come join us.
