RC Versailles-Woodford County presents A Night for a Better Tomorrow on 2-16-2013

 

The Versailles - Woodford County Rotary Club announces that on February 16, 2013, a charity ball will be held at the prestigious Castle Post in Versailles, KY. The inaugural event, A Night for a Better Tomorrow, is being held in order to benefit two powerful causes which effect children both locally and globally: The Woodford County School Backpack Program and The Global Polio Eradication Initiative. The Versailles - Woodford County Rotary Club Advisory Board has asked prospective attendees to celebrate Valentine’s Day with their spouses a few days late, by supporting these worthy causes.

 
Starting at 7:00 PM, the charity ball will feature a deluxe dinner, drink ticket and live entertainment by the Young at Heart Big Band, providing attendees with an ample opportunity to socialize, celebrate and enjoy the scenery. The cost of tickets is $200.00 per couple or $125.00 per individual.

Single Ticket: $100

Double Ticket: $150

 
“A Night for a Better Tomorrow is going to be big. We created this event with one purpose—and that is to help children who are in need,” remarked Ed Crowley, Versailles – Woodford County Rotary board member, and founder and CEO of Photizo Group. “Beyond being a great opportunity for a group of motivated, giving individuals to gather, this dinner will touch the lives of hundreds of children—and that is what matters here.”

Proceeds from the event will be donated to Woodford County Backpack Project and The Global Polio Eradication Initiative.

The Woodford County Backpack Programis an initiative driven by the Woodford County Family Life Resource Center, which provides food for children whose nutritional needs are not being met at home. This program is designed for the children that qualify for the Woodford County school system’s free lunch program. These children are nourished by receiving breakfast and lunch at no charge. The Backpack Program ensures each child will have their own backpack to take home with food for the weekend to sustain them with a portion of their nutritional needs, until they return back to school the following Monday.

Polio is a crippling, fatal disease that remains without cure at this time. The disease can affect people at any age, but most commonly infects children under the age of five years old. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative aims to abolish this disease and has been a primary drive for the International Rotary Club’s charitable efforts.

Bringing another unique, charitable aspect to this event, The Young at Heart Big Band provides Central Kentucky children who could not usually afford them with musical instruments.

 About the Woodford County School Backpack Program

The devoted workforce of several churches in Woodford County work tirelessly each week to make sure that no child is disappointed on any Friday afternoon, by knowing that they will return home to limited or no provided meals. The “Spring Break Backpack Program” was undertaken by the Versailles-Woodford County Rotary Club when Linda Tilghman, Coordinator of the Family Resource Center, informed the club these children do not have food during the periods they are not in school, such as spring break. It has been the charge of Woodford County’s club to provide funding to the Backpack Program, particularly for this week of spring break, but to also have funds available for other times of need

RC Paris hosted several holiday programs

The Paris Rotary Club had several programs to foster Christmas spirit during the holiday season. On December 3rd the Rotary Club sponsored a community Christmas concert which featured local singers/choirs performing Christmas carols. At our regular meeting on December 5, Paris High School students treated us to a selection of Christmas music including a modified version of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" to showcase daily events in the life of a high school student. At the December 12th meeting, the Bourbon County High School choir sang a medley of songs that certainly put the spirit of Christmas in each Rotarian present. Of course, the Rotarians could not pass up the opportunity to sing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" to the students. With all the wonderful music presented by and to the Paris Rotary Club, Paris was ready for the Christmas season.

RC Bluegrass Richmond Wins Second Place in Pops in the Park Table Decoration Theme

By: Darlene G. Snyder

Realizing the importance of being involved in our community, we chose the annual "Pops in the Park" as our summer outing. With the mansion at White Hall as our backdrop and the overall theme of the night being The Yellow Brick Road, we chose as our table theme, Toto's Birthday Party.  We decorated our table in birthday balloons and tablecloth, added matching napkins and seated Toto's doggy friends in all the chairs. All of our finger foods were made with the pups in mind.  As the judges arrived at our table, we uncovered the doggy-bone shaped birthday cake made by Meijer, and began singing Happy Birthday to Toto.  The judges really liked it and awarded our group with second place for theme. Toto was 73 years old this year. Our group enjoyed the evening visiting with one another, listening to EKU's Orchestra, and greeting friends.
