International Shark Pond
Join us for Shark Pond, a Shark Tank-style international service project supporting aspiring entrepreneurs in Africa.
Participants have completed business-development classes designed to strengthen their ideas and improve their chances of success. They will pitch their businesses to a panel made up entirely of members of our club, who will ask questions and help select the winner.
The winning entrepreneur will receive a $1,000 micro-loan to help launch or grow their business. Once repaid, the funds return to the Rotary Club in Africa to support future training and additional entrepreneurs, creating a sustainable cycle of opportunity.
Shark Pond will take place from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM in place of our regular meeting, followed by lunch together afterward.

Topic:
Rotarians from across District 6990 are invited to come together for a major Thanksgiving Day service project at Hard Rock Stadium in partnership with Feeding South Florida.
This large-scale community effort will bring together approximately 800 volunteers to help provide Thanksgiving meals and support to individuals and families in need throughout South Florida. Our goal is to have at least 250 Rotarians participate, creating a powerful show of service, unity, and community impact.
Volunteers will work together directly on the field at Hard Rock Stadium, assisting with meal preparation, organization, distribution, and other activities needed to serve the community. Specific volunteer assignments and additional event instructions will be provided as the event approaches.
In addition to making a meaningful difference on Thanksgiving Day, this project offers an important opportunity to bring Rotary clubs together from throughout the district and demonstrate what Service Above Self looks like in action. With hundreds of volunteers participating and potential media coverage surrounding the event, it will also provide valuable visibility for Rotary and its commitment to serving South Florida.
Rotarians, family members, friends, and community volunteers are encouraged to participate. Clubs may register individually or organize groups to serve together.
Volunteer space is limited. Register early and help Rotary District 6990 make a lasting impact this Thanksgiving.
