Making
it Happen Rotary Style
The Rotary Club of Swansboro is recognized throughout
Rotary for its ability to raise funds for community projects. When a
Rotarian approaches Business People, Friends or Neighbors with a
request to support a worthy project, they reach for their wallet
and/or checkbook and freely and generously give their support.
Citizens of the community know up front what Rotary has done to make
a difference in the community for their efforts to make our
community a better place to live, work and play.
The crown jewel of the community is The Rotary Civic
Center built with pledges from Rotarians, Businesses, Friends and
Neighbors. When funds are available our plans are to increase the
parking in the rear of the building, improve the appearance of the
large hall in the rear of the building to provide a more formal
setting for large functions. The rear hall is great for Oyster
roasts, pig pickings, fish fries and many other functions in its
present condition.
The
front hall is perfect for most functions, which include weddings and
receptions. We are thankful for the organizations and individuals
that have used the Center and made donations to help with the
expense of maintenance and utilities. The Rotary Club holds its
weekly meetings in the front hall every Thursday at 1:00 PM unless
it is being used for another function. The Club pays the Center for
its use and will gladly adjust their meeting place to accommodate
other users.
Ask any
Rotarian and they will proudly tell you that it is a labor of love
and indeed a privilege to work on projects that raise that money to
help our youths and seniors in the community. This years Rotary
International Theme is “Create Awareness, Take Action.”
The
Swansboro Rotary Club members are proud to claim with the caring and
generosity of our friends and neighbors we have walked the walk and
talked the talk. Thank you for caring. Making It Happen ...Rotary
