EarlyActors present cheque to the Norwood Basic School
The Coin Collection Drive recently conducted by the EarlyAct Clubs in conjunction with the Rotaractors of Montego Bay culminated in a Family Fun Day Count Off on Sunday the 25th of October 2009 at the Cornwall Beach in Montego Bay.
The EarlyAct clubs raised a combined whopping total of J$ 200, 318.75!
"Just look what happens when Rotaractors plan and EarlyActors execute! I am excited about this effort put out by both Clubs together with the Rotary Club of Montego Bay and I am looking forward to this being an annual event of Rotaract & EarlyAct" said Natasha Parchment-Clarke, EarlyAct Co-ordinator.
