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!

Hickory Sunrise Rotary Presents First Scholarship

Representatives of the Rotary Club of Hickory Sunrise were on hand at the Hickory High School graduation ceremony this June to present their first annual scholarship to Catawba Valley Community College. The scholarship was presented by Ric Vandett, who, as former Schools Superintendent, felt very much at home back at Hickory High.

Recipient Jose Cisneros will be attending CVCC in the fall, where he will study English and/or Computer Studies.
