We recognize the need to offer help to these citizens in an organized program. The need sometimes is as simple as changing batteries in a smoke alarm or replacing light bulbs, but these are jobs that some homeowners can not perform. During the eleven months this project has been in force, we have performed 45 service calls. This required a total of 42 hours. Twenty-one members or 15% of our club have participated in this project. This project is very much appreciated by our community, and recipients have shown their gratitude by donation $125 to our club. 2001 - 2002 Year End: 70 Projects completed, 1351 Service Hours, $18,775 Spent, 58 Interclubs 2002 - 2003 The club year began with the loss of 27 members as a result of potential dues increases at the International, District and local Club level The proposed increase for the District was withdrawn after expense reductions were made and the local Club increase was refunded in April 2003 when it was determined that the new policies of the Homeowners Association would not have a financial impact on the club The excellent reputation of the club and the dedication of the remaining 118 members were able to attract 10 new members during the year. The Club raised almost $16,000 with 15 income producing projects and an additional $9,400 was added to our Foundation The Foundation Golf Tournament & Dinner raised $7,400 and our Duck Race & Picnic added another $2,000 These efforts allowed our Club to award $10,000 in college scholarships, contribute more than $6,000 to Youth Services and $4,000 to Community Services. More than $1,200 was collected for Priority One projects from funds donated at weekly meetings These funds were disbursed to neo-natal facilities at our local hospital and to the Worcester County GOLD baby pantry The Club continued to ring the Salvation Army bell for the Christmas Kettle Drive Through the efforts of more than 60 volunteers and the generosity of the residents of Berlin and Ocean City more than $6,000 was donated The Club was assisted by numerous members of our sponsored Key Club at Stephen Decatur High School. The Club enjoyed an outstanding Holiday Party at the Globe Theater with the cast from the Children’s Theater singing music selections from their production of the “Sound of Music” This was one of the youth groups we helped support and this was their way of saying thank you for the support The dinner after the Foundation Golf Tournament and the picnic before the Duck Race were great ways for the Club members, friends and spouses to enjoy the fellowship of a dedicated group of people.
