Hickory Sunrise Rotary Supports “Face of a Child”

At this morning’s meeting, Hickory Sunrise Rotary kicked off its annual effort in support of the “Face of a Child” project, organized by the Little Samaritan Mission, based in Granite Falls.

Rotarian Richard Tucker distributed photographs of children in Moldovan orphanages, together with large plastic bags that we will fill with a list of requested items. This year the focus is on winter wear, so there will be a rush to snap up warm coats before they disappear completely from stores.

The bags will be delivered to the Little Samaritan Mission in March and shipped to Moldova, where members of the mission will distribute them to the children.

Sunrise Rotary Gears Up for February’s “Jamming at the Beach”

Preparations are well under way for the second annual Rotary Jam, presented by Hickory Sunrise Rotary Club. 2015’s event, which takes place on Valentine’s Day, has a beach theme and will feature music from the Fantastic Shakers, heavy hors d’oeuvres and even shag lessons! More information will be available soon, both here and at our Facebook page.

This morning’s meeting saw a visit from Meg Locke, owner of the event venue, The Crossing at Hollar Mill. Meg’s generosity has been invaluable in keeping down the cost of the event, thus boosting the amount of the money generated from the evening’s festivities that can be dedicated to scholarships.

The club expressed its gratitude to Meg. We really couldn’t hope for a more beautiful venue!
