184 Maysville (7730)

President Rita blends right into the wall art


Speaker Rev Ross, President Rita, member Diane,
guest Rev Don and IPDG Nancy

In the small hamlet of Maysville, NC is my dear friend Nancy,  a member of the Maysville Rotary Club, she is the IPDG of District 7730 and the leader of the past two NID trips to India.  The small club meets at Andy's Diner which serves a traditional breakfast.  Service projects include matching grants which have provided a library in the impoverished community of Dhanbad, India and a current nine district grant that is giving children with congenital heart defects in India the life saving surgeries that they so desperately need.  At this time they are selling tickets for a reverse raffle, which will support scholarships for local students.

The featured speaker was a minister from Uganda who spoke about the uprising when he was younger and how Uganda is rebuilding itself.  I want to thank the members for pulling together to offer an additional $100 for Polio Plus during my visit. President Rita was gracious and gave me ample time to share my story with the members.

Meal $10
donation $100
