Mr. Romero has just approved the final documents authorizing the shipping and receiving of two containers of educational textbooks and school furniture for Philippine schools devastated by typhoons.
Here Ken is mailing those documents on to his teammate, Mr. Bruce Bain, who is already on the ground in the Philippines meeting with members of the government; with shipping and receiving agencies; and with the Manila Rotary Club officers who will be taking possession of the contents of the two shipping containers. Everything is being focused on ensuring that textbooks and furniture are distributed equitably to the affected schools. Our fellow Rotarian, Heather Kirk, will be joining the mission to meet up with the containers and their contents there in the Philippines and to enjoy some fellowship with our brother and sister members of the Manila Rotary Club. She has promised a presentation to us upon her return.
On Saturday, October 21, 2017 (7:00 – 10:00 PM), the Rotary Club of New Orleans will host a gala to kick-off the Tri-centennial Celebration of the founding of New Orleans. You, your family and friends are all invited to come dance the night away to the music of Kermit Ruffins and the Barbeque Swingers. It wouldn’t be a New Orleans celebration without good food – so we’ll enjoy the culinary creations of Chef Nathaniel Zimet, a “Chopped” Chef Winner, from Boucherie Restaurant, voted New Orleans Best New Restaurant in 2009. To keep you hydrated, we will have Open Bars serving beer, wine and the finest cocktails. The drinks will be free but don’t forget to tip our Bartenders from the New Orleans Riverbend Rotary Club. You won’t want to miss the presentation of an award to Ellis Marsalis for the Service he has given to the youth of New Orleans or the Ten Minute Auction (three prime items). Proceeds from the evening will go toward renovations of Gallier Hall. It’s not too late to be a Gala Sponsor and attend the Patron Party and be included in the night’s program (contact Tommy Moore at tommy@directmailplus.net). Individual tickets for the Gala are $125.00 - so, be in that number and send your ticket order in or you can click on the Gala under the "Upcoming Events" section below where you can register and purchase tickets online. Ticket order forms will also be available at our weekly meetings. Don’t miss out on the fun!
2017 THANKSGIVING PROJECT - Save the date - Thursday, November 16th! This year our goal is to fill and distribute 150 baskets once again at First Grace United Methodist Church. There will be a planning meeting at 11:30 AM on Wednesday, September 20th, before our usual Rotary gathering. Anyone interested in participating is encouraged to come!
The neutral ground is located on Poydras Street between Tchoupitoulas Street and South Peters Street. The new signs make it easy to see where you need to go. Two or three Rotarians are scheduled each week, but you can get creative and have others help if you wish. If you cannot work during the scheduled week, try to switch off with someone else. During your week, the deal is to pick up trash or broken limbs you find on the neutral ground. You can bring your own garbage bag and gloves. The trash pick up takes less than 15 minutes but be careful on the busy street. After you are finished, just throw the garbage bag into one of the public trash containers on Poydras Street.
Week of 09/18/2017, Holly Gulden, Casey Gunn
Week of 09/25/2017, Stephanie Haigler, Jay Hakes
During the year, we will arrange to do more gardening work on the neutral ground and go to lunch afterward.
REMEMBER that in addition to keeping up this stretch of Poydras Street, this is a great way to get to know your fellow Rotarians. Also, if you cannot perform your assigned task think about getting a group of younger folks to handle it for you. They can be Interactors, high schoolers looking for community service hours or just folks looking for a way to get involved.
