Each Publication makes one nomination, and ^4 Keep the Ball Rolling 9? By James Cuthbertson Boiling Springs, North Carolina, lies in the beautiful rolling woodlands of Cleveland County. This small hamlet is the site of Gardner-Webb College which was host to the first District 767 Rotaract Conference on Saturday, April 19, 1969. The delegates from UNC-C at the conference were Richard Helms, John Lafferty, Bobby Young, Oliver Sharmon, and James Cuthbertson. They were led by Mr. Charlie Grier, a prominent man-around-Charlotte, who was the founder of Rotaract, which is an international service organization for college students. Mr. Richard Helms was appointed as temporary chairman of the conference. He was given this honor because the club here at UNC-C was the first Rotaract Club to be chartered in the world. Therefore, it was only fitting that Mr, Helms, who is the first president of the first Rotaract Club be the chairman of the first conference. One of the most interesting highlights of the day came when the different clubs gave reports on their service projects. There are a total of 69 members of Rotaract in the four clubs located in District 767. When as many projects were accomplished by so few, it is easy to see why Rotaract is the outstanding service organization that it is. Some of the projects were book exchanges, work on an ourdoor amphitheater, a Ride Coordination Board, campus beautification programs, car washes, the sponsorship of Boy Scout and Cub Scout programs, a campus golf tournament and the distribution of discount passes to students. One of the service projects of the Rotaract Club at Western Carolina stands above the others. This project was a Beautiful Eyes Contest which helped a blind student at Western get a new braille typewriter to replace one that was stolen from him. All the projects were commendable and proved that the four Rotaract Clubs of District 767 were engaged in service projects that exhibited the ideals of Rotaract. The other highlight of the day came when tl;c nominations of the Publications Board vni among these to selecfef* winner.
