Candace said the Salvation Army check for $1,000 has not been picked up. The Outreach Mission is very short of food, could we table it and give to Mission. It was the consensus that the Salvation Army is much richer that the East Stokes Ministries. Debbie made a motion that we give $500 to Outreach Ministries now and then give $100 per month until we get some more funds. Seconded by Betty, carried unanimously.
A member of the Lexington Rotary Club who has experience with international projects will be invited to come and talk to club.
OLD BUSINESS:
Betty gave update on library extension project. Bids were higher than budgeted, the low bidder Whishon Carter at $628,000 has been given permission to go ahead. $200,000 more will be needed. We will do a fund raiser in the spring.
Karen Mabe, sponsored by Nelson Smith has attended four meetings, a motion was made by Jim, seconded by Debbie to install Karen as a new member. Sherry officially installed her and welcomed her to Walnut Cove Rotary Club.
