YTD Raised: $0.00The Rotary Club of Claremont-Brighton was established in 1968 and in 1981 became the Rotary Club of Claremont when the Rotary Club of Brighton was formed. Club membership has fluctuated over the years with a high of 44 in the year of 1977, dropping back to 21 in the year of 1993. Current membership stands at around 38. The club has always been noted for its friendly atmosphere and has served the local community well over the past 36 years. The original members were drawn from many walks of life; building, various contractors, milk vending, exporting, nurseryman, shop-owners, education, sales representative and so on. This variety of classification has always been the basic of club membership and has added to the vitality of the club.

The Rotary club has been supported for many years by an active Inner Wheel club, which is still strong in 2007.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF COLLIER COUNTY INC
(US, 591834379) Browse events
YTD Raised: $0.00Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization dedicated to building simple, decent housing in partnership with families in need. Habitat assists very low-income working families who do not qualify for conventional home loans. With the help of volunteer labor and donations from service organizations, faith groups, corporations and individuals, Habitat is able to sell the homes to our partner families at no profit and zero-interest financing. Monthly mortgage payments go into the Revolving Fund for Humanity, which helps build homes for more families. Partner families must also invest 500 hours of sweat equity to help build their own homes as well as the homes of their future neighbors. In this way, Habitat offers a hand up, not a hand out.
