Carthage Rotary Club

Carthage Rotary held a Paint your Pinkie Purple for awareness and to raise money to help end Polio world wide.
If you would like to donate or find out more on Rotary’s mission to End Polio please message us or join us on the 1st & 3rd Thursday of each month at the Carthage Community Building at 12:00 for Lunch and our meetings.
Thanks to all who helped and donated.

Please help us congratulate The Grascals: “Bend in the River” tops the Bluegrass Unlimited National Bluegrass Survey for October, its second consecutive month at #1 after climbing from #2 in August. Six months on the chart, and it is still at the summit.

We got to celebrate it in person this afternoon, presenting the band with their #1 plaque during the Billy Blue Records Showcase at International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) World of Bluegrass in Chattanooga.

Written by Billy Droze and Michael Wright and sung by John Bryan, it is a bright, banjo-driven tune with a dark heart. As John says, there is nothing more dangerous than a scorned lover. It is from Not That Gone, the band’s first album for Billy Blue Records.

Thank you to every radio programmer who played it! And the week is not done: tomorrow night The Grascals perform at the IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards, where “Broken Angels” (recorded with Dolly Parton), fresh off its Gospel Music Association | Dove Awards win, is nominated for Song of the Year.

Rotary Club July Meeting

We were pleased to welcome Penny Jeffrey, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels of the Sandhills, as our guest speaker at our July meeting.

Penny shared information about the important work Meals on Wheels of the Sandhills does to provide nutritious meals, safety checks, and companionship to homebound seniors and adults in our community. She highlighted the organization’s impact, the growing need for volunteers and community support, and the difference these services make in helping individuals remain independent in their own homes.

We appreciate Penny taking the time to speak with our club and look forward to partnering with Meals on Wheels of the Sandhills.

July 4th Parade applications can be found on Town of Carthage website.
