All Call for Newport Rotarians - Croatan Ridge Gardening Project

We're trying to finish up our grant project at Croatan Ridge Nursing Home. We have some finishing touches to do on the vegetable raised beds and some assembly on the patio sets. There will probably be a few other small jobs to complete and lots of hands will make the work very short. Would like to start about 9 AM on Sat the 14th of March and we will be finished before noon. Please come and do Rotary with the club. When we're finished let's head to Shortways for a beer and a sandwich (Dutch Treat). See you there and thanks. Rick Moreau. 

ed. The Gardening Project at Croatan Ridge is a project of Newport Rotary with help of a grant from The Rotary Foundation. Approximately $5,000 is available from the Foundation for this signature Newport Rotary project!  

Christmas Celebrated at Care Home

Santa and Newport Rotary elves visit  care home residents

Rotarians from Newport Rotary, along with family and friends, celebrated an early Christmas with the residents of Croatan Ridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Newport.  In an afternoon of fun, every resident received a special gift, homemade Christmas cards, and cookies that were passed out by Santa (Steve Blizzard – Newport Rotary President) and his very special elf, Rachel Shortway.  Rotarians then led the residents and staff in singing some best loved Christmas carols.

Santa leads a chorus of Holiday favorites...

Newport Rotary focuses on helping to make life a little better in the Newport by sponsoring events like this Christmas at Croatan Ridge and the annual Newport Halloween Hootenanny, providing dictionaries to Newport third graders, and working on various projects throughout the year that help make Newport a great family community.  Newport Rotary partners with area businesses, area non-profits and civic organization, and Newport residents that help make these endeavors a great success. The gifts for the Croatan Ridge party were, in part, provided by members friends and church family, the Twisted Sisters of the Leon Mann Senior Center and the Onslow County Partnership for Children (CEO Dawn Rochelle is a fellow Rotarian).
