Scholarship Raffle items reflect the colors of the season. Stanly's annual $1,000 scholarship is funded by the item donations of members and the $1 each raffle tiickets purchased at registration. Member memorials also help fund the scholarship.
October 19, 2017
At this meeting members registered to attend the Region 3 NCRSP every member meeting to be held in November at South Piedmont Community College in Monroe. Cost per member is $15 to be paid in advance. You must get your registration $ and name to the local Treasurer ASAP if you plan to attend.
Our scheduled speaker from AARP failed to show so members used the time to share rememberances of some of the local's recent loses. Sharing of good news and special memories is an important part of each meeting.
Reception/Registration opens at least 30 minutes before the 11:30 a.m. start time. The cost for the luncheon and materials/site expense is $12. Raffle tickets for the scholarship raffle door prizes are $1 each. Many members purchase an additional takeout meal for $8. Takeout includes a meal box, salad box and dessert box.
(l-r: Cindy Misenheimer, local president; Doris Eudy; and Claudette Burris.)
Local Treasurer Teresa Carriker needs some extra table space and elbow room. She must process dues payments, collect pre-payment/registration for the Region 3 every member meeting and, at the end of each day's meeting, settle the accounts for the venue rental, food preparation and scholarship raffle accounting.
Our new choice for the meeting venue comes complete with welcoming table decor.
The luncheon spread and dessert table are always a big hit and great bargain.
Results....Smiles and Great Fellowship
Your $1 Scholarship Raffle ticket makes you eligible for the doorprize drawings. Homemade seasonal treats are always highly prized by the winners. One additional winner gets a free luncheon at the next meeting.

NCRSP has plans to present the Foundation with a lump sum contribution at the state NCRSP Convention in mid March. Plans were made for Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week in early May as members can begin choosing the individual schools they want to be the primary sponsor for. All members are encouraged to donate to the overall fund that will be divided among the schools based on population. SCCM, Stanly Community Christian Ministries, food pantry will be a focus for the March meeting. Members are asked to bring non-perishable food donations to the March 22nd meeting.
