Year-end givingIn your year-end giving plans, please include Wake Smiles and our Rotary Gala!Our Club has already raised over $85,000 through the personal gifts and pledges of our members and Raleigh Rotary Club’s Foundation support of the Wake Smiles project and the Gala. For those who were able to attend the tour of the Wake Smiles Clinic at the Salvation Army, you saw first-hand how your gifts will support those most in need of dental care. (We will be happy to make arrangements for others to tour the facility who could not be there earlier.) We are proud that our Club will name this one-of-a-kind facility when it opens. Our goal is to complete the $200,000 pledge to Wake Smiles and raise an additional $50,000 to support the Gala, the cost of the plaque on Fayetteville Street, an updated Club history, and other anniversary expenses. If you would like to make a gift or three-year pledge, please click here bbriggs2@aol.com, and Beth will get you a pledge card and brochure. The brochures will be available at our Holiday Luncheon, too. Our goal is 100% participation! Thank you for your consideration, and thanks to the many who have already made their gifts and pledges. |

Salvation Army Bell Ringing![]() It's time to ring that bell!The 2015 Annual Rotary Club of Raleigh Bell Ringing Project will begins today Monday, November 30th and continues through December 24th. We are ringing at the same location as years past at the Wal-Mart Store located at 1725 New Hope Church Road (off Wake Forest Road north of I-440) in North Raleigh. We will ringing the bell on Monday through Saturday each week from 10:00 am through 8:00 pm (no Sunday hours). Shifts are one-hour long and alternate on the half hour so that if all shifts are filled you will ring with two different Rotarians during your shift. Every Rotarian is asked to sign up for at least six one-hour shifts throughout the project.
Remember you can support this project in another important way as well by donating funds to the Salvation Army and crediting your contribution to our club’s total. If you write a check normally to the Salvation Army don’t forget to put the check into our kettle to get credit for our club.

Monday, October 7, 2013![]() Marc A. Fusco has been a space cadet since childhood. He was fortunate to have watched Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon and has never been the same. Marc maintained his love of all things space throughout a career as an award-winning teacher and Shakespeare scholar, and later as a management consultant and business owner. Not content to be a bystander and fan of the space program, Marc left his life in business and returned to school for an MS in Space Studies at the University of North Dakota. He focuses on space history, commerce, and policy, but his knowledge and love of all things space stretch to planetary science, astrobiology, astronomy, orbital mechanics, among other things. He just likes to learn about, talk about, and teach about space. |

June 24, 2013 Jim Cain “Reviving the American Spirit: A ‘Small World’ Key to Global Prosperity”
This was the fourth time that Jim Cain has addressed the Raleigh Rotary Club; each time in a different capacity. First around 1984 when he was serving as Director of a National Independent Expenditure Campaign called “Americans For Reagan”; then around 2002 while President of the Carolina Hurricanes; then around 2008 in his Diplomatic capacity. We enjoyed his talk about the American Spirit - so appropriate before the July 4th celebration.
