October 12, 2016 Naples Gulf Shore Sunset Rotary Meeting


On Wednesday October 12th, Past President Anne Towers lead the meeting with the introduction of our guest speaker Bill Barnett, Founder and Executive Director of Storytellers Creative Arts.  Bill gave the invocation and pledge followed by Club announcements and an update on our annual Mercato Wine Walk – Hallowine 2016.  Tickets are available at www.MercatoWineWalk.com.  This year’s event will have Red Carpet Photos and a raffle of many items, including a wicker chair set worth over $1,000!

Our guest speaker Bill Barnett from Storytellers Creative Arts provided us his vision as Founder of the organization.  Storytellers Creative Arts believes that there is a generation of rising artists who will have a cultural impact using all areas of the arts. The vision of “transforming lives through the arts” guides the mission of developing communities of connection, celebration and creating art that expresses faith, elevates culture and transforms lives.  Three initiatives enable us to accomplish the mission: Arts Outreach to the underprivileged, Creative Expression Groups for local artists and Events that connect, inspire and equip creatives.

It was a pleasure having Bill as a guest speaker and quality questions being addressed by our members.
Mark your calendars, unless otherwise stated, all our meetings are now at Hyatt House Naples.
