In July, the Rotary Club was honored with the “Project Share” award at the Second Harvest of Central Florida Partner Network Conference.
“It was a great honor and pleasure to receive this award on behalf of the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach,” said Rotarian Laura Biddle, who attended the conference and accepted the award together with Rotary Club of Flagler Beach President Karen Pastoriza.
Biddle and Pastoriza are part of the Project Share leadership team, who volunteer each month at Pierson food distributions.
