Sign Up to Volunteer for the Newport Pig Cooking

Newport Rotary and Rotarians helped start the Newport Pig Cooking Contest in 1978 and we have been helping with it ever since. When there was "hand chopping" we did that. When there was "culling" we did that. Now we are mostly helping in the serving lines as they have automated many of their functions. To volunteer for serving line assistance, call 252-223-2111. 

The Newport Pig Cooking Contest is a great reflection of our community and has donated over a million dollars to local charities over the years. See more about the Pig Cooking here. ENJOY!

Cancellation & Bee There for Next Weeks Program

Hey Rotary Family,

Two quick updates for you!

⛈️ TONIGHT'S Round Table – CANCELLED
Out of an abundance of caution, we are cancelling March 16, 2026's Round Table. With 24 mph winds and severe thunderstorms expected between 5–6 PM, it's just not worth the drive. Not to worry — our agenda covering the Friends of the Library signage, next year's grant, and Hootenanny planning will all keep. We'll reschedule and pick right back up!

🐝 March 23, 2026- Next Monday – Special Speaker: Pamela Hanson on Beekeeping! Here's something to look forward to! Joining us next Monday will be Pamela Hanson, who will be sharing her expertise on beekeeping right here in our area. Whether you're a curious beginner or already a fan of all things honey, this is going to be a fascinating conversation about the important role bees play in our local community. Come ready with your questions!

Stay safe, stay dry, and we'll see you Monday!

March 9 2026 Meeting: Carteret Works Programs with Sharon King & team

Sharon King and her team from Carteret Works will be the guest speakers at Newport Rotary on Monday, March 9, 2026 5:30pm at the Newport Rotary Building, 245 Howard Blvd in Newport.

The Carteret Works Apprenticeship program has one goal in mind: To help employers build a skilled workforce through on-the-job learning and related classroom instruction. We work with you to develop a custom registered apprenticeship program that meets your specific needs. With an employer-driven model, we help combine on-the-job learning with related classroom instruction. Learn how you can benefit from the apprenticeship program.

We expect the following team members from Carteret Works to be involved and to talk about their programs:

• Sharon King: Carteret Works (Apprenticeships)
• Sharon King: WIOA (Hedda Bunting is unable to attend, so I will cover her content.)
• Brandy Bell: Small Business Center
• Tammy Wall: NCWorks
• Liz Hubbard: Re-Entry Services
• Erik Heck: Work Experience

The public is invited. Bring a friend.
