Last year, Bristol Rotary donated to a project at the School of Architecture at Roger Williams University to design and build a new gatehouse for the Bristol beach. In the March 7th 2024 issue of the Bristol Phoenix, Paul LaFleur, then president, was pictured with the team, awarding them a grant from Bristol Rotary. This was an exceptional team, as shown below, having won a national award, the Freedom by Design Award from the American Institute of Architectural Students. The project won the award over all schools in the Ivy League and schools across the country. As expressed by the project manager, Domonic Cavello, "...this is a point of pride for the town of Bristol in that they invested in something that is getting national praise."
