3 Special Events

New Club Charter

On August 2, 2006 the new "Lake Country Rotary Club" was chartered at a special ceremony held at "Shadow Lawn" in Chase City, Virginia. The South Hill Rotary Club sponsored the new Club and several South Hill Club members attended the event.

Visiting dignitaries included James Probsdorfer, District Governor, District 7600 and
former District Governor Bob Preston, District 7600.  The new club began its quest under Governor Bob's leadership and has been chartered since Governor Jim has taken office.

  Pictured are the 2 District Governors, President C. David McKee of the new "Lake Country Rotary Club" and President Jerry Klingenberg of the South Hill Rotary Club. The South Hill Rotary Club donated to the new club its banner, meeting bell and gavel as part of the ceremony.

 The South Hill Club awards Rotarian John Lenkey a plaque for his tireless efforts at the behest of the District Governor to help the Lake Country Rotary Club through the rigors of starting up a new club.

Local Annual Activities

Highway Clean Up

The South Hill Rotary Club participates in local activities such as the area roadway clean-up project. Rotarians shed their business clothes, get "casual" and go about cleaning up their assigned section of roadway on Highway One North. It takes cooperation and hard work but it is great fun if you don't fall out of the truck!

       
After the hard work and "foolishness" we enjoy a casual dinner.

  Some have not quite gotten the idea about how far to go?

Rotarian Volunteers
 

Another activity supported by the South Hill Rotary Club is the local school "Lunch Buddies" program. Rotarians are assigned a particular class at the local elementary school and we join this class during their lunch break once each week. Often the children convince the Rotarian to remain and to read to the class and that's when the fun begins.

"Lunch Buddies" Rotarians Bruce Settle, Herbert Farrar, Carol Crough, Jimmy Keith Crowder and Tom Smith team up with their classes for some lunch time fun.

     

Also at "Lunch Buddies" Rotarians Tom Leggett, Frank Nanney and Lisa Clary enjoy some fun with their classes.

Rotarians represent approximately 33% of the volunteers for this worthwhile project.

Some of our "Lunch Buddies" participated in a National Event called "Reading Across America". Tom Leggett, Carol Crough and Lisa Clary all read to their respective classes.

The last of the lunch buddies parties for this year. Rotarians Bruce Settle, Tommy Zincone and Mickey Moore with their classes.

Accelerated Reader Program

Rotary members also are very involved in the "Accelerated Reader Program". This program encourages young people at the elementary level to start reading more. An ice cream party is then arranged for all the participants at the end of the school year.

2006 "Pizza Party"

2007 "Bingo Party"

The Accelerated Reading Team of  Rotarians Dave Yocum, Jerry Klingenberg, Frank Nanney, Lisa Clary, Tommy Zincone, Mickey Moore, Tom Smith, Steven Stanley and Tom Leggett see to it all the kids have a great celebration of their reading accomplishments. Great D-Day shirt Frank.

This six weeks got our students outdoors for some playtime and a chance to embarrass the adults and their lack of sports skills.

2007 Another "Bingo Party" for this 6 weeks.

Last of the Accelerated Reader parties for this year.

Now unless I am wrong these parties are for the "children"...right? Oh well, maybe these are the children.

The best photo of what a great time this is for everyone. This is what service is all about folks!

Teacher Appreciation Day

Each year as the end of the school year approaches the Rotary Club provides doughnuts to the local teachers as a gift for their service and patience with the students. This year more than 40 dozen doughnuts were enjoyed by these dedicated servants of our public school system. I must say I believe some of the Rotarians dipped into the doughnuts, they look happy!
