Southwest Cabarrus Rotary Club

We are so grateful for the work that Elder Orphan Care does in our community. Last week, our club was spotlighted in the EOC newsletter.

“Sharing about EOC at the Harrisburg (NC) Rotary Club

We love every opportunity we get to share about Elder Orphan Care, so when Timothy Thornton, president of the Harrisburg Rotary Club asked Kim to speak, she couldn't say "yes" fast enough! Not only did she receive a warm welcome, the club presented her with several beautiful prayer shawls for EOC use, thanks to their partnership with Hickory Grove Baptist Prayer Shawl Ministry.”

Good Day Rotarians and Visitors,

I hope everyone had a fun safe Memorial Day weekend!

As a reminder, our meeting today has been moved to tomorrow evening as a rotary club social event with the Concord Rotary club.

The Concord Rotary Club would like to extend a warm invitation to join us at our social on Wednesday May 29th at The Local Bottle Shop in Concord from 5pm-7pm!

This is a great opportunity for your club to get to know fellow Rotarians in our area. Tell a joke or two, have a beverage and unwind after a long day at work.

The Men of the Southwest Cabarrus Rotary Club were proud to stand together in our annual support of CVAN Men for Change!

"This year, we stand together as 1,031 Men for Change. We come together to provide safety, shelter & support for battered women
and their children here in Cabarrus County. We believe that domestic violence is wrong and that we are all part of the solution.

Alzheimer's isn't waiting — and neither am I. This year, I'm participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's care, support and research. Will you support my efforts by making a donation on my fundraising page?

Every dollar you donate helps the Alzheimer's Association® provide care and support to those facing Alzheimer's and all other dementia, and advance critical research.

I hope you will stand with me in this fight. Together, we can end Alzheimer's.
