The Rotary Club of South Granville County has been busy lately with projects and fundraisers.
Buy a duck for the June 5 “Rubber Duck Race” and you could win a vacation package, a round of golf, an iPad, gift cards and more, according to club President Angela Allen.
“Buying a duck can support the local and international service projects on behalf of the club,” Allen stated. The race will be at 10 a.m. at West Point on the Eno. It is not necessary to be present to win, she added; winners will be contacted if not present.
On May 7, the club distributed more than 100 “care packages” to senior adults at the Creedmoor Recreation Center. The packages were filled with snacks, personal hygiene, household, and entertainment items collected and donated by club members and others in the community. Allen offered a special thank you to Christian Faith Center, Altec, CertainTeed, Southern Snow Company, First Horizon Bank of Oxford, KARTS, ACIM and The Help Center.
The club participates in other community projects throughout the year, including providing meals to homebound seniors, building and maintaining “Little Free Libraries,” and donating items for children in foster care. The club also provides electrical systems and vocational skills to underserved communities overseas, Allen added.
