Program Will Feature Work in Alto Cayma

 

At our meeting this week, Jim and Gloria Hintz from the Charlotte University City Rotary Club will again be here with the beautiful hand-made greeting cards from their International Vocational Service project in Alto Cayma (Arequipa), Peru. 

 

The Hintzes spend seven to eight months a year in Alto Cayma, working with the people there. They recently returned from Peru with 6,000 cards to sell during the Christmas season, so they will have a wide variety to choose from without having to wait or pay a shipping charge. In addition to selling individual cards, this year they are featuring gift packs of 6 cards in an acryllic box for $25. These are a really different gift idea not only for family and friends, but also for business associates, staff members, and key customers or clients. 

 

One hundred percent of the proceeds from these sales go back to the people who do this beautiful work. So don't forget to bring your checkbooks Friday and help the people of Alto Cayma help themselves through their own honest efforts.

 

STAR Rescheduled to Nov. 18
The meeting will be at Pike's on the 18th at 7:15 am.  If you are planning to attend, please email Brad Goforth  bgoforth at thesamaritanhouse.org so he can give them a count.

 

Bring Coats for Crisis Assistance Ministry

Some members brought coats for Crisis Assistance Ministry to the last meeting.  More new and gently used coats are needed.  Please bring them to the next meeting.

 

Volunteers Needed To Ring Bells at Kettles

Bell Ringing Chair Lee Wensil is looking for a few good men and women, not for the Marines, but the Salvation Army.  Dilworth Rotary has pledged to staff the Salvation Army's donation kettles in the Park Road Shopping Center on Saturdays, Nov. 29, Dec. 6 and 13.  We need to staff the kettles from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. in two-hour shifts in two locations. We like to have a minimum of two volunteers at each kettle, one at Harris Teeter and the other at Blackhawk Hardware.  Sign-up sheets will be at each meeting.  It is a good opportunity to serve our community and get to know our fellow Rotarians better.

 

Social Set Nov. 18 at Greek Isles Restaurant

The next social will be Nov. 18 at the Greek Isles Restaurant, 200 E. Bland St. Dinner reservations are set for 6:30 p.m., but host Corey Wilhelm says feel free to arrive at 6 p.m. for drinks.  As usual drinks and dinner will be "dutch treat."
