Suncoast is a great contributor to Citrus County and other communities in Florida. The
Rotary Club of Central Citrus Foundation will use the donation to provide scholarships
and other support to the youth in Citrus County. The paragraph below from Suncoast
covers some of what they do for communities in Florida.
Suncoast takes pride in giving back to the communities we serve. We do this in several
ways: Suncoast’s Foundation has given over $32 million dollars to support children’s
initiatives since 1990. Our Community Impact Department supports hundreds
of nonprofit organizations serving adults, families and the community as a whole,
providing over $1.SM each year in sponsorships. Employees spend thousands of hours
annually volunteering. Suncoast is the largest credit unionin FL and this year we
opened our 75ᵗʰ branch! To celebrate reaching this milestone, each branch will donate
$1K to a nonprofit of their choice. The employees of our branch chose your
organization!

PDG Jeanie Germain and her husband Bill were at the August 18, 2021 club meeting.
Her message to the club members was the need to recruit new members and grow
the club. Our club has lost members during the pandemic and has had to use Zoom and
find a new location to meet in person at the Pine Ridge G0lf Club. Any information and
help with gaining new members are welcome.
In the picture below PDG Jeanie is giving Area 8 AG Eric Hoyer a gift for his help
during her year as 6950 District Governor. In the other picture of course our new
President John Clardy is with PDG Jeanie.
PDG Eloy Nunez was at our July 14th Rotary Club meeting at Grand Living to pitch
the Escape from Cuba book. He was part of a group of Cuban exiles that each
wrote about the experience of leaving Cuba. He had a video with excerpts from each
author in the book. It was very interesting what they went through to be able to flee
from Castro’s Regime. All book royalties go to charities designated by the authors.
