In July District Governor John Adams visited RC Mt. Sterling, RC Nicholasville, RC Lexington Sunrise, RC Versailles-Woodford County, and RC Corbin. Many thanks to all the clubs for welcoming the DG and his family with such wonderful hospitality.
During the club visits we learned that RC Mt. Sterling is sponsoring an outbound youth exchange student, Morgan Danis, who will be living in Turkey during the upcoming academic year. The Mt. Sterling club is looking forward to its main fundraiser, Radio Days, in Spring, 2012.
RC Nicholasville reported on the $9000 in scholarship money it recently awarded to local youth. These scholarships are funded by the annual pancake breakfast held in February.
RC Lexington Sunrise recently celebrated local 5th graders at Arlington Elementary by hosting a graduation luncheon at which local news anchor Andrea Philpott shared words of wisdom with the students, who also received gifts from the club. Lexington Sunrise is looking forward to its Gospel concert featuring the Isaacs on November 11, 2011. In the mean time, its members will be hosting local youth during a fishing trip to the Salato Wildlife area in October.
RC Versailles-Woodford County will be sponsoring Repair Affair on September 9-10. The goal is to complete twenty-four projects during the event. Tan Keng Keng, Past President of RC Bugis Junction, Singapore, visited the club during a business trip to Versailles.
RC Corbin has begun preparations for its Empty Stocking event to be held in December. Other planned events include the London-Corbin International Dinner in February, a senior citizens dinner in November and a golf scramble in May. John had the privilege of inducting new member John Manon who was sponsored by Millie Burkhart.
