Boat show proceeds to benefit Rotary’s Gift of Life

This weekend the Rotary Club of Belize will be hosting its second annual Boat show and sale. The event is the organization’s biggest fund raising drive with proceeds dedicated to the club’s Gift of Life Programme. The Gift of Life initiative makes it possible for needy children to receive life saving heart operations abroad. According to Rotarian Francis Woods the show gets underway from nine on Saturday morning at Old Belize Marina at mile five on the Western Highway.
