Just a quick note to "thank you all" for helping out last night at the Annual Hootenanny. What a great show of Rotarians, showing Newport how much we care of our children. We owe a great thanks to Morehead City Noon Club who also had a great showing of Rotarians. Whoo! Hoo! High Five!

Now, next Monday's meeting will be at our Rotary building as usual, meal is to be provided by Larry. For our program, we will be putting in labels and hand writing children's names into the new "DICTIONARIES". Yep, they are here and ready for our personal touch. So bring you best hands on attitude and let's get them ready for Newport!

Newport Rotarians Show Up in Force for Foundation Banquet

We arrive in style at the River Landing County Club, Wallace NC!

Twelve Newport Rotarians and guests participated in the District Rotary Foundation Banquet in Wallace NC on Thursday evening, October 27. The featured speaker was Rotary Foundation Trustee and Director Elect Ann Matthews of Columbia SC. She spoke on how the Rotary Foundation is alleviating needs like hunger, clean water, and literacy, and is giving Rotarians the opportunity to participate in making the world a better place. We are also "this close" to eradicating Polio!
