Hickory Sunrise Rotary at Foothills Veterans Stand Down

As in previous years, Hickory Sunrise Rotary Members helped out at the Foothills Veterans Stand Down held on April 24th 2015 at the Catawba County Fairgrounds. Veterans attending the event have access to a range of services, such as dentistry, opportunities to meet with VA officials, employment advice and army surplus items. Rotarian Ric Vandett (right) is one of the driving forces behind the event, while other members pitched in with the preparation and serving of breakfast and lunch for veterans and volunteers.

Thanks to all who helped with this valuable and much needed event.

Hickory Sunrise Rotary Club’s Jamming at the Beach dance on Valentine’s Day exceeded all expectations both in the the fun that almost 300 guests enjoyed on the night and in the amazing $10,000 raised to sponsor local students at CVCC.

It was a freezing cold evening outside, but inside the Hollar Mill things soon heated up thanks to the outstanding performance of the Fantastic Shakers and the tireless dancers.

Thanks are due to our great sponsors, BB&T, Junior Shaggers, Copperweld, Auto Fitness Center, Commercial Fabricators Inc., Concept Frames Inc., Dr. Michael Wimberly D,D,S., Neurology Associates Auto Adventure Towing, Foothills Mortgage, DressSwell.

Thanks also to Meg and her staff, who looked after us so well, and to the many donors of items for the silent auction, whose generosity helped make possible the support that we will be able to offer to deserving local students as they continue their education.

Those attendees who asked when we were going to do this again will be pleased to know that plans are already underway for a Halloween dance.
