Please Record Your Service Hours

Your club leadership would appreciate it if you would record your service
hours each week when you have service hours.  Apparently only a few members
are remembering to record their hours.  With the East Boulevard cleanup,
club committee work, and USO volunteer service, there should  be
significantly more than the 85 hours showing for July.

The new Website created by Richard Pockat makes it easier than it was to
record service.  To log your hours go to our Website
(www.charlottedilworthrotary.org/) and look down the right side of the home
page.  In the box that has the dashboard and just below it you will see
Click Here to <http://charlottedilworthrotary.org/volhours/index.html>  Log
Volunteer Hours.  Click on it and it will bring up a sign-in page.  Put
dilworth in the space for user name and service in the space for password.
and click on sign in. It will bring up a page with Rotary Service
underlined.  Click on that and it will bring up the form below.

Fill it in.  If you have multiple dates for the same service project or
committee service, after you record the first one click on new and it will
bring up the same form with what you filled in.  Just change the date and
the number of hours (if that changes) and the description if that changes.
Click on new and that action records it and you are ready to fill it out for
another date for the same project or committee service. 

If you are changing from recording service project time to committee service
time, you have to change the designation and delete the one that doesn’t
apply.  Then record the dates, description and number of hours. 

If we have a fairly accurate accounting of service time, Lamar Gunter will
be able to use it in publicity for the club.

 Matthews Rotary Will Conduct 

Its 5th Annual Bluegrass Festival  

(from new District 7680 website)

The Matthews Rotary Club will conduct its 5th Annual Bluegrass Festival on
Saturday, November 7, 2009 in Stumptown Park, located in Historic Downtown
Matthews. The event is a Celebration of Our Veterans and Our Community, and
will feature Bluegrass Music, a Chili Cook-off, Bike Ride and 5K Race. 

The day will begin with a 30-mile/60-mile Bike Ride sponsored by Bicycles
East in Matthews. Registration for the ride, which has a fee of $25, will
begin at 7:30am and the ride will start at 8:30am. Registration for the 5K
Race, which has a fee of $25, will begin at 8:30am and the race will start
at 9:30am. Runners and Bike Riders will receive a free tee-shirt and their
registration fee includes admission to the Bluegrass Festival and Chili
Cook-Off. 

The Chili Cook-Off, beginning at 11:00am, will consist of 12 to15 Teams,
including local organizations, businesses, restaurants and others, who will
be providing samples of their chili to be judged. The judges for the contest
are those attending! Buying a ticket allows attendees to taste each team’s
chili and pick their top three. Prizes are awarded to the winners. This is a
fun event that everyone can participate in! Tickets for the event are $5.00
per person for all ages, and are available on the day of the Cook-Off or
from the Matthews Rotary Club. 

Bluegrass entertainers scheduled to perform include: Jones Brothers and the
Log Cabin Boys, The Clover Feed & Seed Band, The Cochman Family, and The
Firehouse Cloggers. Children’s activities, including a Moon Bounce, face
painting and balloon animals will be available. 

In honor of Veteran’s Day, a portion of the proceeds from the event will
benefit the North Carolina National Guard Soldiers and Airmen Assistance
Fund. Throughout the State of North Carolina, Army and Air Guardsmen are
called to mobilization duty for our country, or our state for natural
disasters and other required duties. In the absence of their Soldier or
Airman, families are dealing with the challenging issues of day-to-day life.
Sometimes our Soldiers and Airmen suffer job loss, illness, unexpected
expenses, or disasters, which place them in financial need. The Fund
supplements financial emergencies that occur within families that have a
parent deployed and helps them through these difficult times. 

A portion of the proceeds will also be distributed to these local
not-for-profit organizations: Christ Our Shepherd Ministries, providing
services and programs for single female parents including childcare and day
camps; Levine Senior Center, empowering seniors to celebrate living through
developing relations, increasing knowledge and encouraging activities;
Libros For Learning, providing books to establish libraries in rural cities
in Mexico; Matthews Health Clinic, providing free health care to low-income,
uninsured residents of Mecklenburg and Union Counties
