HOOTENANNY IS HAPPENEN' !

The annual Newport Hootenanny was almost a wash this year, but thanks to our own Ruthann Sluss, it is a go!
Ruthann has taken over the reigns and is putting together a bang up event. Ruthann need some help though. She needs volunteers to help the night of the event, and she needs donations of pre-wrapped candy to give to the children when they win a game. Our Rotary club is donating $330 to sponsor a sno-cone machine. Everything is free for the kids.
The date for the Hootenanny is Saturday, October 30, 2010 and will be held at the  Little League Ball field on Howard Boulevard in Newport from 6pm to 9pm. For more information call Ruthann at 252-223-2333 or email her at ruthanns@vol.com.

Come on out and join the fun!

Ruthann and Marilyn are hoping to see everyone there!

Newport Rotary Featured in The Rotarian Magazine

3 families share each of the donated boats

Newport Rotary was featured in a special supplement in the May 2010 Rotarian on service. This is the first time anyone remembers a Newport Rotary project being mentioned in the magazine.

Their Rotary Foundation project with the Dhaka NW Rotary Club using a Foundation Matching Grant to assist fishermen devastated by Cyclone Sidr was featured in an article entitled "Restoring Livelihoods in Bangladesh".

CCATS is the way to go!

Andy Searle brought us a program from CCATS, our county transportation system. If you know anyone who needs a ride, it is available to pick them up, and bring them back. They offer rides to the community college, beaches, shopping, Doctor’s offices, the aquarium, and all places of interest and necessity. With routes from Morehead to Cedar Island, there is virtually nowhere this transportation system doesn't go. The rides are priced according to zones, and the fare within one zone is $2.00 per person.  Additional zones are an additional $1.00 per zone. Ticket books may be purchased at $20.00 each or 2 books for $35.00. For scheduling and information call 252-240-1043.

Newport Pig Cookin' Contest

We are doing Face Painting again this year at the Newport Pig Cookin’ Contest. This year we will be working on Friday,  evening, April 9 as well as Saturday, April 10. And we have decided to up our price this year from $1.00 to $2.00 per face (which is still way cheap!). This will help our club with some much needed community exposure. We will be needing some helpers this year and would like everyone to sign up at our club meeting. A sign up sheet will be posted in the meeting room. Please help! Let’s not rely on just three or four of our members to do it all! If you cannot paint, just collect money and say hello to people. Our site this year is #54.
