Newport Rotary will have a crafts booth and sponsor a pig at the 31st Annual Newport Pig Cooking April 3 & 4, 2009 at the Newport Town Park. Funds were raised to sponsor the pig during the regular club meeting on March 16, 2009.
In a "pass the hat" effort spurred on at the behest of Newport Mayor PDG Derryl Garner, he said that Newport Rotarians were integral in starting the Pig Cooking event 31 years ago, most notably PP. Larry Howard, and that we should have a presence at the event.
President Cliff Schweitzer announced the booth, which will feature a goldfish toss, face painting and hair painting. While this is a fundraiser, it is hoped that the presence of Rotarians at the event will be good publicity for the club, what it does in the community, and for the Global Polio Eradication effort, which we be highlighted.
