President's Message
 

Greetings, Denver/Lake Norman Rotarians!

It's been quite a week, hasn't it?  I hope everyone knows now that we are moving to a new meeting venue, St Peter's Church in Denver. Thank you to all of our Board members and committee chairs that participated in the decision making process. We really do have a truly dedicated team that is working to make Denver/Lake Norman Rotary as successful as it can be.

As I type this, I am hoping that my mobile hotspot is sufficiently fast to publish and get this week's newsletter out to you. But as you have probably heard, there are multitudes from Tampa/St. Petersburg to Asheville that are far worse off than us due to the historic devastation that resulted from this storm. Please keep those who were affected by it in your thoughts. As of this writing on Sunday afternoon, work is being done at the District level to assess the needs of those in western North Carolina and what we as Denver/Lake Norman Rotary can do to help.  Stay tuned for more info.

In the meantime we have a Board meeting this Friday, October 4th, 7:30 am at Ross's office where we will take a formal vote on our new location.

See on Wednesday at St Peter's!

Rotarian Ross Bulla is Hosting a Saturday Night Benefit for NC High Country Hurricane Helene Victims
POP-UP Cigars, Bourbon & Benefactors event to help the NC high country victims of Hurricane Helene. Saturday, October 5, 2024 at 2173 Smith Harbour Dr., Denver, NC 28037. I will conduct an official bourbon tasting followed by a very special pour of bourbon and provide free cigars and appetizers. BYOB or wine, or spirits to share. Donate what you think is appropriate. You must RSVP no later than Thursday, to RossBulla@gmail.com. (I cannot accept RSVPs via comments, because I might overlook you. Please send an email.)I would love for a local business to sponsor and help offset expenses. This is subject to weather, because this will be an outdoor event. If someone wants to sponsor a rental tent, reach out to Cooke Rentals and coordinate it and let me know. Parking will be just north of my location, on Highway 16. I will try to find an off duty deputy to park a car and direct traffic. Maybe we will have some auction items. 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
