Vice President Roy Leonard (l.) presents RCS Executive Director Zeb Hough (r.) with a donation from the Club as well as a box of HUBS peanuts – a signature fundraiser of NBCC. Zeb, in turn, told the Club of an upcoming Gala Fundraiser in August – An Evening in Old Hollywood. You can check out details for this event at the RCS website.
Our Club has long been a donor and supporter of RCS not only with a yearly monetary donation from our charity budget, but also as a monthly donor to the RCS Shelter. On the second Monday of every month, New Bern Civitan Club members prepare a meal of spaghetti and meatballs, salad, bread, butter, soft drinks, and dessert.
In November, the Club members prepare a full ham/turkey dinner with trimmings. In December, we prepare a festive meal with homemade holiday cookies and Santa Claus makes his annual appearance at the Shelter to distribute presents to each and every Shelter resident. If there are any children residing in the Shelter at that time, they receive gifts from their personal “Holiday Wish Lists” provided to our members by their parents/guardians.
The New Bern Civitan Club applauds the efforts of RCS to provide for those in the community who need help the most.
