At
the monthly club business meeting, Chuck Fair, club president, announced to
club members that Byesville Rotary was presented with the Governor’s Award for
Public Image Initiatives at the Rotary District 6690 annual conference. Byesville
Rotary was one of three clubs out of 59 Rotary clubs in District 6690 that were
recognized for this achievement. Governor’s Awards, were also presented to
clubs in the areas of Community Service, World Service, and New Generations
(involvement with Rotary’s youth service groups Interact and Rotaract).
This
award was presented for the club’s efforts to let their community know about
club member’s efforts to give back to their community through various community
service projects such as their annual Christmas Food Basket program and their
scholarship awards presented to Meadowbrook seniors.
These
projects are supported by fundraisers such as the club’s signature summer
chicken BBQ’s, an annual Scholarship Golf tournament, Breakfast with the Easter
Bunny, Breakfast with Santa, and Stuff Santa’s Stocking.
Golf
tournament chair, Larry Miller, reminded club members to make room in their
schedules to serve as volunteers at the Scholarship tournament to be held
Sunday, May 7. He stated that, “It is not too late to have a fun-filled day
playing golf without any guilt because this play is for a good
cause—education.” He went on to say that it is still not too late to register
for the tournament or to make a donation toward the scholarships. For more
information see the club’s Facebook page—ByesvilleOhioRotary.
Chuck
Fair reminded members to save time to spend an hour at the club’s first chicken
BBQ of the summer to be held on Saturday, May 13. As usual the club will be BBQ’ing at Rotary
Park at the corner of Main and 2nd Streets in Byesville. This
year the club will share space with the Byesville Farmers Market. Dates of the
remaining BBQ’s are available on the club’s Facebook page.
