This event raises funds for the Smyrna-Clayton Rotary Club which was founded on May 6, 1927. The club sponsors numerous community projects including Adopt-a Highway Cleanup, a project which provides dictionaries to every third grade student in Kent County, a Bingo program for patients at the Delaware Hospital for the Chronically Ill, college scholarships, as well as sponsorships of a Boy Scout troop and Little League team.
The club meets at the Wayside Inn, 103 North DuPont Highway at Mt. Vernon Street in Smyrna, each Thursday morning at 7:15 a.m.
