Shoe Drive Service Project

Tuesday, July 26, 2022

All are invited to donate a pair or pairs of shoes to our ShoeLady service project! This shoe drive will run through Wed, Aug. 24th. Please bring the shoes to one of our meetings and we’ll present them to co-founder, Bill Hoffman, shortly after the shoe drive ends.

Only new shoes are accepted. Their most popular sizes/styles are athletic shoes, sizes Little Kid 11 – Youth 7. They do have occasional requests for shoes for toddlers and some of the kids in the higher elementary school and early middle-school grades wear adult sizes. In short, they will gladly receive any size you’d like to donate.??/

Please contact Sharon Martin with any questions smartin@oldpoint.com or 757-869-9190. Thank you in advance for your generosity!


August 31: Club Social - No Morning Meeting

Don't forget that August 31 is the 5th Wednesday of the month, so we will not have a morning meeting.

However, that means we will be having our dinner social! You may bring a spouse, guest, or potential Rotarian to the socials. Each party is responsible for their own tab.

Wednesday, August 31 @ 6:00 P.M. - Smoke, 10900 Warwick Blvd, Newport News

August is Membership and New Club Development Month

August is Membership Month, which means it’s time to celebrate your Rotary club, your members, and the good you do in your community and around the world.

There are many ways to join in the celebration, but here are a few activities to get you started:

  • Say it loud, say it proud! Let everyone in your social network know that you are a proud member by changing your Twitter and Facebook profile to the I’m a Proud Member, I’m a Proud Rotaractor, or I’m a Proud Interactor graphic. Copy and save the graphic as your profile picture for August.
  • We Are Rotary. Using the hashtag #WeAreRotary, post photos to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Vine of your club members at work in your community or abroad to show how Rotary makes a positive impact in the world.
  • Making a difference. Rotary clubs are known for the high-impact service projects they undertake locally and globally. Share stories about your service projects and how they improve lives on Rotary Showcase. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to see what Rotary members around the world are doing to celebrate Membership Month.
  • What does Rotary mean to you? Rotary members have pushed polio to the brink of eradication, delivered clean water to those in need, improved their local communities, provided scholarships to the next generation of peacemakers, and continued to do good in the world.
