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.

Just In: Members of the Triad Rotary Club (Tammie Grisso and Michaela Jarrett are pictured above), participated in our first Stop Hunger Now project on May 9, 2009. Stop Hunger Now is an organization that partners with volunteers of civic clubs, churches, and schools to help package and provide nutritious meals for hungry people throughout the globe. On this particular Saturday, over 40 volunteers - including Rotarians, members of their families, and residents of River Landing Retirement Community - gathered at River Landing at Sandy Ridge to package 10,047 meals in less than an hour. We had a lot of fun. Be sure to see all the photos, courtesy of Rotarian Al Ferguson.

Over the past 10 years, Stop Hunger Now has distributed millions of meals to over 65 countries. The Rotary Club of the Triad received a District 7690 Simplified Grant and a donation from the Jamestown Rotary Club to help underwrite part of the cost of the ingredients that go into each meal packet. We had a great time and hope to do this project again sometime.

Got Bull?
Normally this time of year our club is busy getting ready for our annual Bulls 'n Barrels fund raising event. Due to the current economic climate, we were unable to secure enough sponsorships to go forward with the project this year. We hope this fun-filled family event, featuring professional bull riding and barrel racing, will return in the near future.

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 Steve Farabee, president for 2009-2010, we welcome you to our web site.
