Celebrating Collaboration and New Beginnings at the C. Dee Wright Community Center.The Akron-Newstead Rotary was proud to join forces with the Akron Lions and the Akron Lady Lions for our first annual joint meeting at the newly opened C. Dee Wright Community Center in the Village of Akron.
During this special event, we welcomed a presentation from Marlene Stone, founder of Just Build It 2024 — a remarkable organization that all three clubs have been proud to support. Just Build It 2024 focuses on rehabilitating a nutrition center located in Santo Domingo, a project that has been making a difference for the past eight years.
We are especially proud that students from the Akron Central School District have traveled to assist in the ongoing rehabilitation efforts, demonstrating the spirit of service and global citizenship fostered right here in our community.
These meaningful projects would not be possible without the incredible support and generosity of our local community.
Whether by attending our events, volunteering your time, or offering donations, you have played a vital role in making a real difference — both at home and abroad.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we are building stronger communities near and far!
