He has been stationed throughout the United States and from Germany and Italy to Japan. For those of us who served in the past it is always welcome to hear what is going on in our military. Colonel Ware recently returned from a command in Iraq and gave us amazing insight into not only how things are working over there, but the behind-the-scenes events making a long lasting impact on local Iraqi citizens. It gave us a unique look into how well our forces are doing.

Sixteen Members Achieve Perfect Attendance Sixteen members were honored for .perfect attendance at the Nov. 6 meeting and two were honored for decades of perfect attendance. Harding Shinn completed his 45th year of perfect attendance and received a pin. When Harding started his string of perfect attendance, achieving it was more difficult. There were only four Rotary Clubs in Mecklenburg County and a member had only one week on either side of a missed meeting to do a make-up. There was no e-Club for make-ups and committee and service projects did not count as make-ups. Congratulations Harding for an impressive achievement. David Hodgkins collected a 35-year pin. David is Mr. Attendance Make-Up and has brought back banners from all over the world.

Restaurant Fund-Raising Project Succeeds Dilworth South End Rotary?s first fund-raiser in cooperation with Dilworth and South End Restaurants raised $1,429 and awareness of Rotary and our community projects among the restaurant patrons. Feedback on the project has been good and some restaurants already have indicated a willingness to participate again. On November dozens of Dilworthians and their friends went to lunch or dinner at one of the participating restaurants ? 300 East, Brixx, Dilworth Bar and Grille, Greek Isles, and La Paz. The restaurants shared a portion of their receipts for that day. Outback and Sullivan?s provided gift certificates that will be auctioned off. Kate Richards led the fund-raising committee. Members who worked on the project include: Howard Castleman, Lamar Gunter, Rosemary Hill, David Hodgkins, Ralph Lovejoy, Richard Pockat and Tony Thompson. Our Club Bought $2,500 worth of Cards Jim Hintz reported, ?Good News! Dilworth Rotary has done it again! We sold $2,500 worth of our Creaciones Angel Handmade Cards from Peru at your meeting on Friday, which is an outstanding result, given the state of the economy and the size of the club. ?Of course 100% of the proceeds will go back to the girls who make the cards, and that represents a whole month's payroll for them, so August will again be Dilworth Rotary Month in the card shop in 2010, as it has been for 3 years running now. Please share this good news with all your members, and once again, congratulations and thank you for your outstanding support.? ?We did very well at the Uptown Club yesterday, as of course we did at Dilworth last Friday. And the winner is.......(drumroll) - Dilworth again! (By about a 4-to-3 ratio). Dilworth has always been the No. 1 supporter of Alto Cayma in everything we do, and it looks like it will be an uphill fight for anyone to displace you from that position. Once again, thank you for a great day in Dilworth Rotary, and we look forward to working with you far into the future.?

We had originally tried to schedule author Joe Noah, who wrote "Top Mustang Ace," for Nov. 13, the week of Veterans' Day. However, he had a presentation in Virginia that day, but he told his friend Harding Shinn he would be glad to present the program Nov. 20. A native North Carolinian, George Preddy, was the top P-51 Mustang ace of World War II. He shot down 27 enemy planes, five in one dogfight. The Greensboro native's brother, Bill, also was a P-51 fighter pilot. Sadly, George Preddy was shot down and killed by "friendly" ground fire on Christmas Day 1944. His brother, Bill, also was shot down and killed on a combat mission. It promises to be an interesting program. Please invite family, friends and business acquaintances to attend.
