Two Honored as New Paul Harris Fellows; Next Meeting Features Rotary
Foundation  

Two new Paul Harris Fellows were honored at the April 17 meeting and the
April 24 will honor the Rotary Foundation and feature an address by Rotary
District 7680 Governor Bob Wilson.

 

Ed and Tricia King surprised their daughter Kayce King by making her a new
Paul Harris Fellow during a visit with Charlotte Dilworth South End Rotary
Club.

Kayce is a member of a Winston-Salem Rotary Club.  She has been a long–time
supporter of the Rotary projects in Alto Cayma and plans to join our club
members for the planned mission trip to Peru in August.

 

Dale Harrold, president-elect of our club, became a new Paul Harris fellow
at the meeting last week.  Dale has been a Rotarian since 1988 and a member
of our club since 2003.  Previously he was a member of Rotary Clubs in
Madison-Mayodan, Lumberton, Greenville, and Cabarrus County.

Rotary District 7680 Flight of Honor

Sends 120 World War II Veterans to D.C.

The Rotary District 7680 Flight of Honor gave 120 World War II veterans a
day to remember as they were honored with a free trip to D.C. to visit the
World War II Memorial and other sites of interest in Washington.

 

The veterans had such a great time talking with their comrades and enjoying
the send-off and welcome home they received that many said they could not
find words to express their feelings.  

 

The USO at Charlotte Douglas International Airport provided a send off with
doughnuts and volunteers waving American flags.  When they returned Saturday
evening there were more volunteers waving flags as they exited the US Air
chartered plane.  When they exited the secure area there were family,
friends and Rotarians there to greet them with flags, applause, banners,
hugs from children and grandchildren, and sincere thanks for what they had
done for the world during the war.

 

New Law Allows Veterans in Not in Uniform

To Salute During Flag Centered Events

 

Occasionally people in civilian clothes have saluted the flag during the
pledge of allegiance at our meetings and that was once improper protocol.
Changes in federal law have made it permissible for veterans of military
service to salute instead of placing their hands over their heart while
facing the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance.

 “The military salute is a unique gesture of respect that marks those who
have served in our nation’s armed forces,” said Secretary of Veterans
Affairs Dr. James B. Peake. “This provision allows the application of that
honor in all events involving our nation’s flag.”
