As we move into October, we'll turn our attention to Rotary's efforts to eradicate polio. It's a remarkable example of what we can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.
Closer to home, I encourage each of you to find an opportunity to make a difference this month, whether through a service project, inviting a friend to Rotary, or simply doing something kind for someone who needs it.
And now, a shameless plug! My final large-scale Cigars, Bourbon & Benefactors is October 3, benefiting the Lincoln County Child Advocacy Center. We need volunteers to help with setup Thursday and Friday, during the event Saturday, and with breakdown Sunday morning. You don't have to help all four days, but if you can spare a few hours, I'd certainly appreciate it!
Thank you for all you do for our club and community.
Until next Wednesday, may something good happen because you were there.

Collections Continuing for Operation Warm 2026 - Opportunity to Buy Coats and Hoodies for Foster Kids
This is Denver/Lake Norman Rotary's eighth year working to provide a new winter coat for every child in foster care in Lincoln County. The club purchases coats that keep infants, children, teens and young adults (birth to 21 years) warm all winter. The recipients get to pick the color of the coat that they desire and their Social Worker provides the size for ordering and then, delivers the coat to the child. Older children will receive hoodies since they much prefer them to actual coats.
The committee is headed up by Cathy Smiley and will raise money until the end of September so that orders can be placed with our various suppliers.
Please make checks out to the Denver/Lake Norman Rotary Club Foundation with "Operation Warm" on the memo line, so that your contribution can be tax deductible. Businesses, neighbors and friends are also welcomed and encouraged to donate.
