Here is news about a great event for a great cause! Amelia River Cruises will host “Cruising for a New Cause,” a fundraising event to benefit The Rotary Club’s Canaan Orphanage Project in Haiti.

The event will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27, aboard the Amelia River Cruises Sunset Cruise. The public is welcome to attend.
