From kay.d.may at bankofamerica.com Wed Mar 4 07:31:18 2009 From: kay.d.may at bankofamerica.com (May, Kay D) Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:31:18 -0500 Subject: [Dilworthian] email to Charlotte Dilworth Southend Rotarians Message-ID: (Email to Charlotte Dilworth Southend Rotarians) Our annual BBQ fundraiser event is fast approaching! This year's event will be held on Friday, April 3, 2009, from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Serving hours to the public will be from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Each Rotarian will be billed for a minimum of $48 worth of tickets. Kay May will have the tickets available for pick up at our weekly meetings but to help make this year's ticket sales work smoothly, we ask that you please email Kay or let her know in advance which tickets you want and how many. Your choices of tickets are as follow: * Ticket for one Office Pack $16.00; * Ticket for One lb. BBQ $9:00; * Ticket for One dinner $8.00 - please specify eat in or take out. You can purchase any combination of tickets and of course as many as you like, more is always appreciated. For example, you can purchase * 3 office packs for $48. * 6 individual meals for $48 * 2 office packs and 2 dinners for $48 * Or for $54 you can purchase 6 (one pound container) of BBQ * Also, if you want to purchase office packs in bulk, just let me know how many you plan to feed and we will bill you for the amount needed. For example if you plan to feed your office of 30 people, that would be the equivalent of 10 office packs for $160. But we would package this in bulk instead of 10 separate office packs. Thank you in advance for making this year's BBQ fundraiser a success!

This way, she can take the requests by e-mail and not just in person at the meetings. Because we have 3 different tickets it?s important for Kay to know which ones they want. * BarBQ will be held on Friday, April 3, 2009, from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. * Serving hours to the public will be from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. * Ticket for an Office Pack $16.00; One pound BarBQ $9:00; One dinner $8.00 (each ticket will be a separate color). * Rotarians will be billed for a minimum of $48.00 in ticket purchases Kay needs to know which tickets each member wants and how many (just the minimum or more). Rotary Power Chair Bob Teague needs additional volunteers to cover all of the time slots for the BarBQ. As you can see we have several times open. DilWorth Noting STAR Meeting to Deal with Club?s Budget The Rotary STAR Meeting is next Tuesday, March 10, at 7:15 a.m. at Pike?s. This month, we will talk about our club budget and how it works.

If you know someone, a fellow Rotarian or a guest, who might be interested in coming to the meeting, feel free to invite and let Brad know. He?ll make sure there is plenty to eat! Flight of Honor Veteran Applications Reach 111 World War II veteran applications for the April 18 flightnow total 111 with only 120 seats available for the veterans. If you are talking with any veterans about going on the Flight, let them know that we may have to start a waiting list because there may be illnesses and other reasons for cancellations. Anyone who wants to go and hasn?t applied needs to do so quickly. The steering committee would appreciate it if anyone who wants to help with financial support of the Flight would contribute soon. Bills for the charter flight, buses, etc. have to be paid in advance and are beginning to fall due. If you make the contribution to Dilworth Charities and note on the memo line that it is for the Flight of Honor, the contribution will be tax deductible under the federal tax code.

SPECIAL MEALS POLICY Charlotte Dilworth South End Rotary Club Calendar Year 2009 A number of members are finding it difficult to maintain active membership in our club due to current economic conditions. Our club is about service in the community. Maintaining the long term viability of our club is among the most important charges that we have as individual members. As a means of helping support our members during this time, current members, those currently on a leave of absence or senior active status may request a waiver of their meals expense effective immediately. The following rules will apply. 1. This benefit is extended to members who are unemployed and to members who are self-employed or commission-dependent or those who have suffered a significant loss of income that makes fulfilling their financial commitment to Rotary difficult. 2. Members seeking this benefit should communicate with Ed King or the Club president who will jointly approve this change. A monthly report will be made to the Board of the total number of members receiving the benefit, but individual names will remain with Ed and the Club President and will remain strictly confidential. 3. Club dues of $72 per quarter will need to be paid during this period. EREY contributions are optional. 4. The benefit will be for a three-month period, subject to renewal for up to two additional three-month periods. 5. Members receiving this benefit are expected to remain active in club activities and attendance. 6. The Board reserves the right to modify or terminate this program if necessary or advisable. 7. The board would like to also solicit contributions from the membership towards helping maintain this policy while limiting the financial impact to the long term health of the club. Donations should be clearly marked ?Rotarians Helping Rotarians? and forwarded to Ed and Trish King. Approved by the Board of Directors March 9, 2009 DilWorth Noting Construction Will Begin March 19 On Mecklenburg Rotary?s Habitat House The Rotary House, an annual project of Mecklenburg County Rotary Clubs, will be constructed beginning Thursday, March 19. Construction will continue on Friday and Saturday of that week. Rotarians will work on Fridays and Saturdays of the following weeks until completion.

Our annual BBQ Fundraiser will be next Friday, April 3rd from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.? Ticket Chair Kay May said, ?To all who have placed their orders and picked up their tickets THANK YOU! ?To those who have not yet placed their order and picked up tickets, please email Kay May at kay.d.may at bankofamerica.com and let me know how many tickets you want and which ticket (Office Pack, Pound or Plate) and what time you will pick up your barbecue on April 3rd.? ?

The new Paul Harris Fellows are: Club #1 - Tom Philson; Club #2 - Kay May; Club #3 - Lee Wensil ? Clubs #1 and #2 were formed in 2002, and Club #3 was formed in 2005.? These "clubs" were created to enable members to become Paul Harris Fellows faster and promote the Rotary International Foundation.? Drawings have been held each spring and $3,000 is sent to the Rotary Foundation in the names of the winners. Each member of each club has agreed to contribute $100 annually to the Rotary Foundation (which is very similar to EREY - "Every Rotarian Every Year" - giving $100 to the Rotary Foundation).? With the creation of EREY, and with most of our members contributing $100 annually via EREY or through the Paul Harris Clubs, the need for the clubs has been replaced by EREY.? ? Clubs #1 and #2 will successfully complete their mission next year.? When Club #3 phases out in 2013, the 3 clubs will have raised $30,000 for the Rotary Foundation!?? Thanks to ALL of the following who have made this program such a great success for the Rotary Foundation: ? (Some members were replaced from time to time upon relocation, death, etc.) ? Club #1 ? George Alexander, Rosemary Hill, David Hodgkins, Jim Hunter, Ed King, Dave Miller, Joe Morris, Bob Morrison, Tom Philson, Jim Stump, and Bob Teague ? Club #2 ? John Barringer, Glenn Hines, James M. "Jim" Hunter, Dewey Jenkins, Frank Kiker, Van Vagianos, Marti McCracken, Harding Shinn, Richard Pockat, Doug Phillips, Ed Todd, and Kay May ? Club #3 ? Tony Thompson, Bob Mills, Chuck Lapp, Lee Wensil, Ranjit Rawley, Bob Lyons Ron Skufca, Bob Small, and Evan Webster ? And, thanks to ALL Dilworth South End Rotarians who support EREY - "Every Rotarian Every Year" - with their $100 contributions.? ALL EREY contributions go towards your initial or multiple Paul Harris Fellow creation.? Most members have $25.00 per quarter added to their regular bills (only 27 cents per day). If you haven't already signed up for EREY and would like to do so, please see or call Jim Stump or Dewey Jenkins. ? ? World War II Veterans Fill April 18th Flight of Honor; Waiting List Started Rotary District 7680?s Flight of Honor now has 120 World War II veterans accepted and a waiting list started in case of cancellations.? Most of the money for the April 18th charter flight to Washington, D.C. to visit the World War II Memorial has been raised, but some additional money will be required. Two women veterans will be among those on the Flight of Honor.? There also will be 40 guardians to assist the veterans in wheelchairs and using canes and walkers.
