Antique Auto Club of The Bahamas. - The Antique Auto Club of The Bahamas has, for the past 15-16 years, held an art competition for children in three different age groups ranging from age five to 15.

The idea behind it is that the children draw or paint one of the cars that are on display during the show.

The concept was proposed by club member Jim LaRoda, who manages it every year. It has been growing in popularity and this year we had over 130 entrants (almost double last year).

The entries are judged by a team in the week following the show and the winners and their parents invited to a presentation ceremony. That ceremony will be held tomorrow at Arawak Cay by the Story House in the Fish Fry Area starting at noon.

Cycling Club Bahamas. - The club is aiming to support the Kindor National Parkinson Foundation during tomorrow’s ride.

Cyclists are urged to meet at Harbour Bay at 5:15am and leave at 5:30am to congregate at Montagu Beach Park.

The ride will start at Montagu Beach Park (6am) for a regular 43-mile ride and return to Montagu to finish.

This is a very worthy cause and your participation is appreciated. The entry fee is $20 (which includes a T-shirt).

Kiwanis Club of Nassau AM. - The Kiwanis Club of Nassau AM is holding a book drive until April 25.

A statement from the club said: “Many children do not have books and without them to read, literacy suffers, education and opportunities decline.”

Donations of new or gently used age-appropriate children’s books for the students of Sybil Strachan Primary School (ages five to 12) are welcomed.

The books will be made available to students through the school’s library.

The official presentation will be made to the school on April 27.

Rotaract Club of East Nassau. - The Rotaract Club of East Nassau hosted its third annual One of A Kind Fundraiser “Captured by Rotaract” on Saturday, at Smuggler’s Pub. It was a “jail and bail” fundraiser in which influential business persons such as Brent Symonette, Diane De Cardinas, Greg Lampkin and Dionisio D’Aguilar were tasked with “making $1000 bail” by calling friends or soliciting attendees to post their bail. All proceeds from this event went towards the community service and international service initiatives of the club.

This year, Captured by Rotaract raised more than $7,765.00.

The club meets twice monthly on Mondays at Lifestylez Bar and Lounge/ Bacardi Bar (East Bay Street). Fellowship begins at 6pm and meetings begin at 6.30pm.
