The 15th Annual Charity Luncheon & Fashion Show presented by the Ladies of the Cameron Park Country Club last Friday afternoon was sold out, and a fun event for our lady Rotarians. Following champagne and a lovely lunch, models showed off some of the latest fashions from CPCC, Cabi, Chicos, Off Broadway and Stein Mart, as well as shoes and boots from Sole Desire. There was also a raffle and silent auction. Proceeds will be shared between the CP/EDH Soroptimist Human Trafficking Project, and the CP Rotary Foundation Vocational Scholarship Program. Thank you Ladies of the Cameron Park Country Club!
October 24th was World Polio Day and our club marked the day as follows: 1) Dave Sargent recounted his experience of a few years ago when he traveled to India with fellow Rotarians to assist and witness the delivery of the vaccine to vulnerable children. He said that it was very moving to be at the front lines representing so many who have given so much to make the anti-polio campaign a reality. 2) Bill Hughes also spoke in his Polio+ shirt about the articles in the Rotarian magazine describing the impact of the disease in the lives of five Rotarians. He reminded us that Rotary's End Polio program started in 1979 in the Philippines. He also auctioned off a box of chocolates with the proceeds going to Polio+. The bidding, starting at $100 was spirited and won by Ulla Petersen at $300. Bill also described a form that will help members make one-time or ongoing gifts to the Rotary Polio+ project.
Membership chair Anne Eckert presented Suzy with her Red Badge and other membership materials (right). Suzy was accompanied by her parents, Ian and Sally Marshall, for the presentation. Suzy eagerly accepted and is promising that she will advance quickly to blue badge status.
