Windsor Ignites:
Legendary Volleyball Beach Bash
makes a Grand Slam Return
Our club is excited to collaborate with the DWBIA, and event organizer Shawn Lippert to bring back the legendary Volleyball Beach Bash Tournament from September 8-10, 2023.
The highly anticipated show of athletic prowess is designed to accommodate a variety of skill levels, from seasoned pros to fresh faces.
Corporate teams will be present to play in One & Done’s, a single elimination game that will see some of Windsor-Essex’s most notable organizations team against each other in fair play.
Not only will there be generous prizes, including $1,000 for the top mixed 6’s team, but every serve and spike also goes towards a noble cause: proceeds from the event are dedicated to Rotary's mission to combat homelessness in Windsor and Essex County.
For more information, including how to participate, visit beachbash.ca

The 59th Annual Fall Fair & Horse Festival is on September 17th, and Rotary Club of Cottam needs our help.
They don't need our club to pick up garbage or to flip burgers over a greasy grill. They need US to be excited about Rotary!
"Year after year our event gets bigger and better but we always fail to promote ourselves and the great work that Rotary does. People from all over Windsor and Essex County attend this event, so we are asking everyone from all the clubs in the area to participate and maybe attract some new members."
Sunday, September 17th, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
