Brandon Global Eco (Zoom)
As an e-club centered around ecology, the Rotary Club of Brandon Global Eco tackles big environmental problems with small influential steps. It focuses its efforts on smaller, personal events that involve the community around us — events that teach lessons and sustainable, environmentally friendly habits that everyone can practice at home. In October, the club will partner with Blue Sky Roofing for a beach cleanup.
To learn more, please join in for its Zoom meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month from 12 Noon-1 p.m. The club is also seeking experts in eco-related matters to be guest speakers. For more information, contact Katie Tyson at katietyson@icloud.com or 813-767-6748.
