GULF SHORES—About 400 people participated in Doc’s Hot Trot for ARC run/walk events this year. The Robertsdale Rotary Club ARC benefit was once again presented and hosted by Lulu’s. Volunteers, Robertsdale Rotary and ARC officials, sponsors and others helped from start to finish—And after.

The annual fundraising event for the Association for Retarded Citizens of Baldwin County, conducted by the Robertsdale Rotary Club and Rotary Club Foundation, has been renamed in memory of Dr. Keith Cooper, longtime Robertsdale chiropractor and organizer for the event, who died in November.
