Oct. 11, 2002 – Rotary Club of St. Thomas will hold a Road Rally in November to benefit the club's charities. The race will have established routes throughout St. Thomas, with awards for winners and a scavenger hunt for adventurers.
The family event includes a beach party and fun activities throughout the day on Nov. 10. Registration for the Road Rally is $50.
Proceeds from the race will benefit club charities like "Baby, Think it Over," a program designed to deter teen pregnancies. This project sends teens home with computerized life-like dolls that the boys and girls must care for.
The program began at Bertha C. Boschulte Jr. High School five years ago, and has expanded to include Ivanna Eudora Kean and Charlotte Amalie high schools and Addelita Cancryn Jr. High.
Other community projects benefiting from the Road Rally include the Nana Baby Home, the Kirwan Terrace Community Center and the Kirwan Terrace School long-term mentorship program.
Rotary Club of St. Thomas, established in 1957, also sponsors scholarships to UVI and mentors the Interact Club at CAHS, where it also established a computer center.
