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: Dr. Michael Hussey was the recipient of the club's annual Bobbi Martin Community Service Award, given each year to a local citizen who exemplifies the "Volunteer Spirit" of our Triad home. Dr. Hussey (seen accepting the award from Jerri White, above) volunteers his skills two days a week as a caring physician at the Community Clinic of High Point. Congratulations, Dr. Hussey!

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!"

Need A New Home?
The Triad Rotary Club's major fundraiser this year is the construction and sale of a 4-bedroom brick home located just off Sandy Ridge Road in Colfax, NC. Various contractors and building supply stores in our area are working together to provide discounted services or supplies to help offset the cost of building the house. The proceeds from the sale of the home will help provide support for several youth scholarships and local charities.

The photo shown above was taken after the landscaping and sod installation was completed. Read more about this project and find out how you can participate and help raise money for the scholarships and charities our club supports.

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 Blair Rankin, president for 2008-2009, we welcome you to our web site.
