# 178 Beaufort Ole Towne NC




Jon, Nancy and Tom, NID particpiants 2010

A great day for a drive to the Carolina coast and the village of Beaufort.  This seaside town once the home of the infamous black beard pirate is now known for its giving to the locals rather than the taking.  The club meets at Clawson’s on Front Street where they serve a choice of three plated options, a change from the normal buffet.  Today I was joined by PDG, Nancy Barbee the leader of the NID trips, who was my guide for the area and chauffer.  This made for a fun day of reminiscing.  I was surprised to see John Scibal, a member of last year’s NID team, and learned he was the AG for the area.  Then we were joined by another team member whom I had not seen in over a year Tom Steepy.
The Beaufort club is known for its community service. This weekend the club is scrubbing down the Boys and Girls Club from floor to ceiling and in between.  One event that the club participated in that piqued my interest was a bus tour to the Beaufort with the seven area clubs and visiting Rotarians from Canada, who were visiting their sister club.  It is wonderful to see clubs gathering together to participate in service and fellowship.  Another upcoming fellowship opportunity is for the area clubs to gather at a baseball game.
