When South Hill Rotary Club gives you money to buy toys along with an unexpected anonymous donor you do some shopping and fill it up. Plus we also left toys in Wilson’s BBQ and Seafood box earlier in the month. The South Hill Lions Club also filled this one up last week. Everyone can be a Santa as toys are still being accepted. Boxes are all over town. This one is at South Hill Chamber of Commerce and will be picked up tomorrow so bring more toys.

South Hill Rotary Club made a donation to the Fraternal Order of Police for the Cops For Kids program this year. Members of local law enforcement agencies are matched with a child and they get to take them to enjoy a shopping trip for the holiday. Rotarian Lisa Clary presented the check to Roger Pendergrass with the FOP.

The South Hill Rotary Club welcomed Jay and Mary Lou Eubanks as guest
speakers recently. The couple, both in their 80's, gave the members a
presentation about their Safari hunting trips through Africa (five trips),
Canada, New Zeeland and other locations around the world. They have been on
hunts for bear, moose, antelope, zebra, moose and more over the
years. Some of the hunts are in an effort to control the population of the
animals in some areas but it also gives them a chance to travel and enjoy
their hobby. They have been married 61 years and make their home in the Lake
Gaston area. Pictured: Jay and Mary Lou Eubanks and Program Chairperson
