Rotary Club of Morganton, Rotary Club of Valdese and Burke Sunrise Rotary will host a Pints for Polio event at Sidetracked Brewery (3:00 PM -10:00 PM) and Fonta Flora Brewery (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM). Polio is a virus that can cause trouble breathing, paralysis and death - mostly in children and Rotary International is a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative which has reduced polio cases by 99% worldwide since 1979, but polio hasn’t been eradicated. If immunizations stop now, in 10 years, polio could paralyze 200,000 children annually. Join us at one of these locations to help us wipe out this horrible disease - $1 from every beverage will be donated to helping eradicate polio.

Rotary Club of Morganton will participate in a Habitat for Humanity work day on Saturday, July 27. Partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Burke County, the Club will start at 8:00 AM to work on a local construction project to support HFH’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

In conjunction with Rotary Environment Month in April, The Rotary Club of Morganton is holding a Community Clean Up Day to help clean up a section of the Catawba River Greenway near the Greenlee Ford Access Area.

The American Red Cross is experiencing severe blood supply shortages. Please join us to donate and save lives. Please use the American Red Cross app or go to www.redcrossblood.org to sign up and schedule your appointment or contact Kim Van Sickler at 704-953-1560.

The fifth Wednesday of the month is an after-hours event where we gather with significant others and invite those interested in our club to join us. Lately we’ve been meeting at the Burke Arts Council, thanks to the generosity of Rotarian Deborah Jones, Rotary Club Member (and Secretary) and Executive Director of the Arts Council. If we’re lucky, fellow Rotarian Dalton Walters MCs a friendly, yet competitive, game of Kahoot (trivia game accessed through a phone mobile app.)
