It's Great To Be A Rotarian!

First chartered in 1978, the members of the Rotary Club of the Triad provide direct support to our selected charities by participating in service projects and fundraisers. The club meets on Tuesdays at noon for lunch at the String and Splinter Club in downtown High Point, NC. All visiting Rotarians and prospective members are cordially invited to attend.

White Sale
Pictured above are examples of the products our club is selling during this year's major fundraiser, appropriately called the White Sale. We invite the community to purchase paper products like bath tissue, paper towels, trash bags, cups, and facial tissue by the case and help support several projects in the local High Point community.

Planned beneficiaries of the White Sale project include programs for autistic students in High Point, our annual Seniors Day in the Park project, our Youth Scholarship Program, and our Stop Hunger Now project, among other projects.

There are several order options available:

• Place your order online
   
• Members of our club can take your order in person or over the phone. Orders will be accepted through March 12, 2010.

Deliveries will take place on Friday, April 2 (for commercial customers) and Saturday, April 3 (for residential customers).

Stop Hunger Now
Over the past 10 years, Stop Hunger Now has distributed millions of meals to needy people in over 65 countries. Last year, the Rotary Club of the Triad and area volunteers made 10,000 meals for this program. For the 2009-2010 Rotary year, our club received its second District 7690 Simplified Grant to help underwrite part of the cost of the ingredients that go into each meal packet. We are planning this year's big food packaging event for Saturday morning, May 1, 2010 at River Landing. Members of the community are invited to participate and help our club package 10,000 meals during this 4-hour event.

Polio Plus
For several years, Rotary's main international goal has been to eradicate polio from the face of the Earth. We have made great strides to rid the world of this terrible disease, and we are getting VERY close to our goal. To help Rotary with this massive immunization project, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has offered a 255 million dollar challenge grant. Our Rotary club is doing its part to help raise money to fight polio and secure this funding. Ask any Rotary member if you are interested in making a donation towards this wonderful project.

Oprah's BIG GIVE Piedmont
Oprah Winfrey and the ABC Television Network have challenged abc45 (the Triad's local ABC affiliate) with a grant of $10,000 to make a difference in the Piedmont community by "Giving Big!"

Click Oprah's image above to learn how Rotarians in District 7690 are meeting the challenge to raise money to help polio victims living in the Piedmont.

We are proud to be a 100% Paul Harris Club, as well as the recipient of several Gold Club awards from District 7690. On behalf of Steve Farabee, president for 2009-2010, we welcome you to our web site.
