Rotary Fellowship
Party Gras! The Official Kick-Off To Duck Season!
Each month the Harbour Club hosts Cocktails for a Cause where their members enjoy great food, drinks, and learn all about a local charity! This month the Rotary Club of Daniel Island and our Charleston Duck Race was the featured charity. AND this event, Party Gras, served at the official start of Duck Season and the 2024 Charleston Duck Race! Harbour Club members, Rotarians, and supporters from across the area came together for an evening of food, drink, fun, and a great cause!
Club President, Bob Schroeder, kicked off the presentations with an overview of Rotary International and priorities for the local Rotary Club of Daniel Island. George Roberts, President of East Cooper Meals on Wheels, spoke about the impact the Duck Race funds have had on their organizations and the 100,000+ meals funded by Duck Race proceeds. Then Evan Murray, the 2024 “head duck” spoke about plans for this year’s Race on May 4th and the ways everyone can get involved.

Meeting Recap
4/17/2024
North Charleston Mayor, Reggie Burgess
Today we had the great pleasure of meeting Mayor Reggie Burgess of North Charleston. Some may have anticipated the normal status of city government type of update, but we got to know Mayor Burgess as a man. From his early days when his mother was a single parent raising Reggie and his brother Brian, to then a stepfather, Mr. Willy, who changed his life forever and was a huge influence on the man he is today!
He then moved on to becoming a star running back for Morgan State University and later returned home to serve on the North Charleston Police Department for 34 years, retiring in 2023 as Police Chief. And yes, there is much to talk about with changes in the City of North Charleston, redevelopment of the naval base, the Coast Guard establishing their East Coast Headquarters, and the SCPA redevelopment of the current Westvaco paper mill. And if that was not enough, let’s add on rebuilding the Don Holt Bridge, widening I-526, and dredging the Cooper River channel. A very impressive presentation by a remarkable man whose focus is truly helping and serving all the people of North Charleston.
