Special teams coordinators and coaches will be available to help on a variety of play options such as rehab, expansion, talent attraction, foundation, image, and service.

The Party!!

Following dinner, we have a DJ who will spin the tunes and get people dancing. Plan to join your fellow Rotarians on the Grand Lawn dance floor. Let’s have some fun getting back to pre-COVID times!!

Most important item to know:

There will only be 240 tickets to the dinner. This is the limitation with the current Sandestin recommendation related to ballroom capacity due to COVID. If the policy changes and we can add more people, we will let you know. Please reach out to event chair Dave Schmit by email if you have any questions …. daveschmit1@gmail.com.

See you at the beach!!!
