First beach cleanup last night and a great program this morning!

This week we heard from Judge Jenny Wells, 1st District Court Judge, covering 7 counties, including Dare. Judge Wells shared information about the kind of cases the District Court hears, their case volume, differences between District and Superior Court, a little about her background and how she became a District Court Judge.

We had a great program from Kitty Hawk Fire & Rescue Chief Talley last week, along with lifeguard supervisor, Callie Basnett! Both gave an informative update on our readiness for the season, lifeguard training, and a little about some exciting technology at play, which helps identify areas of high volume where lifeguards and stands should be located to fill needs. Thanks for all you do to keep our community and our visitors safe, both in and out of the water!

This week marks our 1st beach cleanup of the season! Meet us at Eckner St promptly at 6 pm. Quick cleanup and then social hour to follow at Arts!

It was great to have PDG Stan Keeler and DGN John Polk visit our club this week for a review of The Rotary Foundation. Excellent presentation and reinforcement of why we support TRF and its programs throughout the District and the world.

They also informed us of the exciting news that Rotary International has approved the merger of the two districts, 7720 and 7730 into what will be District 7725, one of the largest Rotary Districts in the country! DGN John Polk will be the inaugural Governor of 7725 in 2027-2028!

We'd love to say it was a lovely day for the Flying Pirate Half Marathon, but alas, that was not the case. 🌧 However, spirits were high and the runners were well hydrated, thanks to these ladies, who volunteered at the hydration station. Kudos for that display of Service Above Self, Christi Bryant Outer Banks, Real Estate Shannon Painter and Nancy Chappell!

Putting in work at our business meeting this week. We broke off into committees to discuss goals and plans for fundraising, service projects, finances, membership, and by-laws changes. And, Rotarian Shelley gave us her bio, which was the last step to having her red "New Member" ribbon removed. We're blessed to have you, Shelley!
