The monthly business meeting of the Byesville Rotary included an unexpected visit from Jay Jackson, Wal-Mart Assistant Manager. Mr. Jackson presented the club with a donation to support the club’s local service projects.
Club members also voted to send a donation to the Kick Cancer Foundation. This donation will go toward building a Rotary Endowment fund. Interest from the endowment will be given to the James Cancer Center to support research for a cure.
The club president suggested the club participate in Polio Eradication Week which will be February 23-March 2. Member suggestions included providing publicity for the Rotary effort to eliminate polio within the next few years and contributing money to support the effort. A contribution to help pay for the erection of the Byesville Scenic Railway’s Miners Memorial Statue was put on hold until the bronze sculpture is completed. The Golf Outing Committee co-chaired by Chris Morris and Larry Miller will begin planning the Annual Byesville Golf Outing. Proceeds from the outing support the club’s scholarship project.
Club members discussed the possibilities of a new project aimed at improving student health. Several members are working to gather the information needed in order to plan for this type of project.
The club’s next meeting will be 7:30 am, February 9, at the Stop Nine Senior Center at 60313 (GPS use 60299) Southgate Road, Byesville. Anyone interested in learning more about the Byesville Rotary can call Membership Chairs Marty Patchen, 740-685-3828, or Larry Miller, 740-439-2767.
