Washington Noon Rotary held its weekly meeting on Monday, 6/15 and learned more about those blue CART buckets that sit on our tables at every meeting waiting for donations for a great cause. CART stands for Coins for Alzheimer's Research Trust, and our speaker was Ann Super, the District CART chair for District 7720 (our district). Ann was presented by member Jim Montsinger who also pointed out that Ann has been a Rotarian for nine years and will become President of the New Bern Breakfast Club on July 1, succeeding her husband Dave who was with her today. Like many of us Ann became an avid supporter of CART having to deal with it personally with both of her parents. At one point she asked how many of us had experience with this terrible illness and most of the group raised their hands. Some of the history, past and more recent, was presented as CART was founded in 1995 and is currently supported by 600 clubs in 40 districts. Unlike many charities 100% of the money donated goes to Alzheimer's research and 15 million dollars has been awarded since 1999. One exciting part of this presentation occurred when our speaker presented a pin to recognize and thank our own CART champion Harriet Hart. A slide show was also presented which showed pictures of many of our past recipients and some of their early success stories with the research they performed. Thanks sooo much Ann for a very informative and inspirational presentation!!! Let's fill those CART buckets at every meeting and move up from our third place in giving in our District!

Some very visible action of the Washington Noon Rotary Club was observed this past week as four members helped make a "moving committee." Pictured (left to right) are Ben Davis, Mike Johnson, and Dana Smith. Fourth member Jan Hindsley decided to be a little camera shy for the occasion. The group helped move the Literacy Council of Beaufort County into the newly remodeled Parvin Bldg., located at 212 Second St. in downtown Washington.

Washington Noon Rotary held its regular weekly meeting on Monday, 6/9. The guest speaker was Reverend Cassidy Salter, Pastor of Wares Chapel United Methodist Church. After being introduced by Rotary member and church member Robert Moore (pictured) she updated our club on the status of the Threads of Hope ministry founded by Wares Chapel in 2024. She spoke to the club about this ministry two years previously and was proud to report the ministry is continuing to grow and serving the community. Wares Chapel partners with Bright Futures of Beaufort County to provide clothes for students in need in the Beaufort County School System. Threads of Hope has responded to 251 clothing requests and provides students with new and gently used clothing. Each child receives a basic bag of clothing to include a minimum of:
3 pairs of pants
5 shirts
7 pairs underwear
7 pairs socks
1 pair of tennis shoes
1 hoodie or jacket
Thanks to Reverend Salter for again meeting with our club and sharing the importance of this ministry for needy school children in our county.

After a Monday off for Memorial Day the Washington Noon Rotary met this past Monday (6/1) for its regular weekly meeting. The club was fortunate to have four students present who were recipients of Rotary scholarships to introduce themselves to the club. Pictured with Rotarian John Rebholz (left to right) are Elli Pake, Alexis Alligood, Delaney Brewer, and Javonn McCall.

Our guest speaker was our own member David Kemsley who gave a most informative and fun presentation on some practical uses of AI.
David presented a live demonstration of some of the things you can do with Chat GPT, one of the most popular AI sites. Thanks, David, for a most exciting presentation.
