Rotary Club of the Triad - High Point, NC

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.

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. Members of the community got together in mid-June 2010 and helped our club package over 12,500 meals during our second annual 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!"

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 Sharon Lipscomb, president for 2010-2011, we welcome you to our web site.
