Rotary Progressive Dinner, Saturday, June 12, beginning 5:30 PM (Everything you wanted to know for the Progressive Dinner.)
Time : It starts at Pat & Nick Imperato's pool at 5:30 PM. She lives at 131 Whippoorwill. About 6:30 pm we will drive down the street (~1 mile) to Gail Mattson's at 105 Weldon Lane. Shuttle vans will also be available. At about 8:00 we'll go up to Mike & Joyce Morris' at 122 Whippoorwill for dessert until . . . ? You should take your food to the proper house before starting to party rather than leave it in your car.
How to Get Here and Where to Park: Go West on Oak Ridge Turnpike to Wisconsin Ave. This is the first road on the right past the West End guard gate. Turn right on Wisconsin (coming from the East). Go all the way up the hill until it dead ends into Whippoorwill. Turn left on Whippoorwill to 131Whippoorwill (~ 0.2 miles on left). There is plenty of parking on the street but the driveway is steep so you may want to drop any passengers that might have trouble climbing the hill.
Going to Gail's continue down Whippoorwill to Weldon, the fourth road on your right. Her house is at the end of the cul-de-sac. For Mike's, come all the way back on Whippoorwill to 122 on the left-hand side. This is a long slopping down driveway but the walk down is easy. We can bring anyone who needs it back to their car. You can drive or ride the shuttle van to the first stop and other stops. It is too far to walk from Gail's to the other 2 houses. If you get lost call Mike Morris (Cell: 386-4179)
Please don't park in the driveways as we want the shuttle vans to use those.
What to wear: Outdoor, casual clothing and flat walking shoes. Wear comfortable everything!
What to bring: Your dish and any alcoholic or other special beverage you want to share.
2010 Graduation Celebration was a huge success
85% of the class came to the 14th annual event, spent the night making great memories with their friends, and saw LOTS of grown-ups living Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self" (including more than a dozen members of Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary Club).
At the end of the Thursday night/Friday morning festivities, Joseph Fowler won the $3000 cash prize (the evening's big draw) donated by ORBRC, THE Rotary Club of Oak Ridge, and the Graduation Celebration Community Foundation, which is managed by our own Karen Bridgeman. The students who carried off the iPad and wii sports system donated by our own Dave Coffey were beaming. Scholarships were donated by a number of organizations our members are part of, as were thousands of dollars in contributions that funded the food, games, and other prizes that make the party a don't-miss-it event.
More than a dozen "Breakfast Brigade" Rotarians arrived shortly before 5 a.m. to help with prize distribution and clean-up, adding fresh energy to the crew of nearly 200 volunteers who are needed to put the party together.
Clean-up was done by 7:30 or so and the Rotarians were smiling when THEY left, too.
Thanks to one and all for the support -- financial and physical! These kids had a great night in a safe environment, and surely our efforts have planted the seeds that will grow community service leaders in the years to come.
