Winter Garden Rotary Club

Winter Garden Rotary Club President Sheri Loiacono, left, welcomed Sweet Home Rescue founder Liz Ortiz and volunteers Calyn McGregor and Sheila Crowe to the club’s weekly lunch meeting.

The Rotary Club of Winter Garden learned about rescue horses at its recent weekly lunch meeting.

Club President Sheri Loiacono welcomed representatives from Sweet Home Rescue to share about the nonprofit organization’s work to rescue abandoned and mistreated horses.

Sweet Home Rescue provides a safe environment for the animals while they are nursed back to good health. The ultimate goal of Liz Ortiz, founder of Sweet Home Rescue, is to find new, loving homes for the rescued horses. The rescue farm is located off Beulah Road in Winter Garden and is run almost entirely by local volunteers.

For more information about donation or volunteer opportunities with the organization, contact Ortiz at [email protected].

The Rotary Club of Winter Garden meets at noon Tuesdays, at Tanner Hall in Winter Garden, 29 W. Garden Ave.
