Memorial Day Service in Arcadia

Each Memorial Day, the Arcadia Rotary Club hosts a service honouring 23 RAF servicemen who died in training accidents in Central Florida during WWII. Many British Clubs and Societies are represented, including ourselves. It is a very moving occasion and we are usually well represented by our members.
