March 12th was Rotary Camp Florida's Day at the Races where clubs from throughout the state are invited to a day of fellowship and thouroughbred horse racing. This day just happened to also be the Tampa Bay Derby, a stakes race with Kentucky Derby hopefuls. It only costs Rotarians $2 to attend and that includes lunch, dogs, chicken, strawberry shortcake, etc. The camp receives a portion of the track's para mutual pool, along with three or four other non profits, during he course of the year, as required by the state. It is significant money, exceeding $20K for the camp.
I may have mentioned it last year, but the camp specialized in children with handicaps, challenges or serious illnesses. It is supported by Florida Rotary Clubs.
