We will welcome District Governor Carter Waid to Purcell this week.
Carter was born in Waurika, Oklahoma. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1973 with a degree in Finance and minors in Economics and Music Performance. After returning to his hometown of Waurika, he became Vice President of First Farmers National Bank.
Carter's family has a long history of Rotary involvement. Carter became member of his local club in 1973 where he has a 50-year record of perfect attendance. He served as president of the club more than 20 times and served as Assistant Governor more than 10 times. Carter is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow and, as a member of the Paul Harris Society, he achieved the status of Major Donor to The Rotary Foundation.
Aside from Rotary, Carter has served on 10 boards. These include Jefferson County Hospital, three university boards, the Cotton Electric Charitable Foundation Board, two bank boards and several boards throughout his community including the Chamber of Commerce. For enjoyment Carter attends University of Oklahoma sporting events, goes snow skiing when he can, and loves to play golf. Most of all he enjoys spending quality time with his family including his three sons Steve, Jon, and Kyle and their families.
Please plan to attend this week to welcome him to Purcell!
Don't forget about the opportunity to join the Polio Plus Society! A $100 yearly donation will get you membership and help continue the fight to eradicate polio around the world. Forms are available on our lunch tables, and contributions can be charged to your account if that is easier for you. Our club members' donations will be sent off after our November 20 meeting.
It's time to start bringing in contributions for McClain County Operation Christmas! This year, we are collecting socks for teens. The consensus is that the Youths are wearing ankle socks nowadays - see photo for an example.
We will also have a work day in early December to help sort food donations. Stay tuned for information about that.
Have an announcement you'd like to include in the weekly email? Email it to rlynam@pioneerlibrarysystem.org or let Rebekah know at the meeting.
