As part of its mission to serve the local community, The Long Neck Sunrise Rotary Club presented a $1,000 donation to Beth McGinn, Chairman for Home of the Brave at the club’s morning meeting on April 23, 2019 at the Ocean Grill II. Long Neck. The check was earmarked to assist the work of Home of the Brave’s Women’s Shelter.
Home of the Brave is one of the organizations supported annually by the Long Neck Sunrise Rotary Club, funded by the proceeds of its annual Flag for Heroes program held each fall, with flags displayed at American Legion Post 28 during the period surrounding Veteran’s Day.
On receiving the check, Beth remarked: “I want to give a huge thank you to the Long Neck Sunrise Rotary for their generous donation to HOBII female veterans’ facility! You Rock!”
