Two of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the Venice-Nokomis Rotary Club will be held on the same upcoming weekend, and both promise to be an enjoyable time for the whole family.
The Rotary Club is a service organization that dedicates the majority of its efforts to raising money for youth in the Venice-Nokomis community. Historically, this local club has invested between $30,000 to $50,000 into youth- oriented enterprises. The highly attended annual Art Festival is a big contributor to that cause.
