ANNOUNCEMENTS, NEWS & INFORMATION................

PROGRAM FEATURES...........
June 10 - Today, John Haus, UNC Chapel Hill Men’s Lacrosse Coach, brought us a very interesting talk and video about the sport of lacrosse. Lacrosse is an unsung sport which was first played by the Indians. The “stick” is the most important piece of equipment in this sport. You may not hit or trip with the stick. Lacrosse is a fast paced sport with a lot of contact, penalties, and injuries. Some shots have been clocked at 100 mph. Lacrosse has primarily been played in the north but is growing rapidly in the south. Coach Haus gave us some great statistics on the UNC team. Thank you Coach Haus for a great program. Thanks to Gerry Malmo for securing this program.

June 17 - About our program today, well, you really had to be there! Paula Stump, International Master and Teacher of Middle Eastern Dance and some of her advanced students brought us a very entertaining visual program today. Paula and her students demonstrated the art of belly dancing. There is really nothing that I can tell you except that belly dancing is the oldest form of dance and Paula and her students are very good at what they do. It is quite an art and I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed the demonstration. Thanks to Gary Fleming for bringing us this fascinating program.

June 24 - What normally is a Spring Social became a Summer Social this year. We had our social this evening at Forsyth Country Club. Everything was superb from the comaraderie to the food to the atmosphere. Thanks to the hard work of Kathy Acton, the room looked spectacular with wonderful table decorations of magnolias and bags of sugar. Thank you to
everyone who brought canned goods. All of the sugar and canned goods were taken to The Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina. The bar was set up on the balcony and everyone enjoyed socializing. We enjoyed a delicious meal and comments by President Loy McGill regarding the club’s accomplishments this year. Stratford Rotary deserves a pat on the back for the success of many new initiatives this year. President Loy’s dedication and determination is largely responsible for the success of these initiatives, but it takes everyone to make it happen. Two of our hardworking members were recognized with Paul Harris Fellow Awards. The New Member Service Award went to Chris Douglas for her hard work in planning and executing a successful Holiday Social and Silent Auction. Scott Krewson received the Outstanding Service Award for agreeing to start a new venture called The Family of Rotary. His tireless efforts in planning several family oriented events earned him this recognition. Thank you to everyone who made this night and the year a total success.

ROTARY IS WHAT ROTARY DOES!!!
