Keith Poston, Executive Director of Hesed House of Hope Speaks at Rotary
By Steve Baker

The Denver/Lake Norman Rotary was happy to welcome Keith Poston, the Executive Director of the Hesed House of Hope in Lincolnton NC, as its speaker at its October 5th meeting.

Keith was born and raised in Lincoln County, graduating from Lincoln High School, and spending his working career employed in the Mecklenburg and Lincoln County area. Keith is married to his spouse Tiffany, and they have two children.

Keith accepted the position of Executive Director of Hesed House of Hope in April 2022. Hesed House is the only homeless shelter in our community. The shelter has a capacity of 32 and is a co-ed shelter. There are two family rooms available in the house. Men and women are allowed to stay for a maximum of four months and then there is a non-return policy for six months after departure. At the shelter there is access to showers, toiletries, food, AA meetings, and help in starting the process for looking for work and applying for benefits.

For more information on how to help this Lincoln County homeless shelter, go to www.hesedhouseofhope.com. On the website are ways to volunteer and donate. Recently, Denver/Lake Norman Rotary was able to serve a meal on a weekday evening there and provide it with some of the needed shelter products.

USO "Helmet Fund" Kicks off in October
Denver/Lake Norman Rotary has voted to again participate in the USO's annual campaign to support our men and women serving in uniform around the world who will miss major milestones in their lives while they're deployed protecting our Freedom, notably the Holiday Season.  Monetary donations will be collected this  month for the USO at weekly meetings via the customary "Helmet Fund".  Donations will help make possible free phone calls home, free Wi-Fi connections in even the most remote locations, and 'USO2GO" kits of DVDs, video games, snacks, sports equipment, and other amenities "from Home" for our front-line Troops.  Look for the helmet on a table near the sign-in area, and let's continue the club's awesome annual giving to the USO.

Lincoln County Rotary Student Loan Fund Now in its 30th Year
2022 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Lincoln County Rotary Student Loan Fund.  For thirty years, the Rotary Clubs of Lincoln County have helped graduates of Lincoln County high schools gain their post-high school education dreams.  The clubs created the fund to offer low interest loans to students, while offering area Rotarians the opportunity to put the Service Above Self Rotary Motto into action.  Over the years the Lincoln County Rotary Student Loan Fund has fundraised more than $2.7 million and loaned over $7.2 million to more than 850 students from Lincoln County.  In addition to the Rotary Student Loan Fund, the organization recently launched a new scholarship program, Rotary Rooted, partnering with area high schools to help students gain access to Gaston College classes while attending high school.  The Rotary Rooted program covers fees and book costs for students that need assistance.
