The Boys & Girls Club of Slidell asked for assistance in providing snacks for their kids during the month of August until their grant kicked in during September. The Rotary Club of Slidell volunteered to provide the needed snacks and drinks for the week of August 26 as their Grab N' Give project. The Club supplemented donations received from members and 600 snacks and 600 beverages were delivered to the club on Friday, August 23, 2024 by our Club President, Kenny Breaux and were gratefully received by Director Monica Scott and her staff!
Members of the Rotary Club of Slidell and the Rotary Club of Slidell North Shore volunteered at Rainbow Childcare on several days in July.
The first Rotary District 6840 Family Fun Day, held at McLeod Park in Kiln, MS on Saturday, August 24, 2024 truly lived up to its promise of FUN! Each territory was encouraged to wear their team shirts and a rainbow of hues were represented, including YELLOW from members of the Lake Territory’s Slidell, Slidell Northshore, and Northlake-Mandeville clubs.
The Rotary Club of Slidell is proud to join the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce as a member and participated in the Fan-Up Tailgate Party and Pep Rally on Thursday, August 15. The event was a ton of fun for all with numerous games and, of course, many Saints superfans in attendance!
It was great teaming up with the Rotary Club of Slidell Northshore for a food drive. The drive, which benefitted the Northshore Food Bank and was held at Sam’s Club, collected three pallets and over 2,750 pounds of food for families of St Tammany Parish.
Thanks to our club members' generosity and donations from Epworth Project and Bush United Methodist Church, we were able to donate these supplies to Director Monica Scott for the start of the 2023-24 school year.
