At a recent meeting, the Snow Hill Rotary Club honored Percy Harrell for 25 years of service to the Snow Hill Boy Scout Troop. Percy started his career in scouting in the late 1960’s as a Cub Scout. He soon moved up to Boy Scouts followed by the Explorer Scouts and was named as a member of the “Order of the Arrow”. Percy began his leadership roll assisting Scout Masters Larry Pate and Norman Lewis. When these leaders retired, Percy assumed the roll of Scout Master and maintained this position for a term of 25 years, the longest of any previous Snow Hill Troop Leader. During his tenure, he attended many summer camps, hiked & camped on Mt. Mitchell and canoed the Contentnea Creek waters all the way to New Bern. Harrell attended the East Carolina Council Jamboree and served as a staff member of the National Jamboree. As Scout Master, 16 scouts under his leadership earned their Eagle Scout Award. Also during his leadership, the current Snow Hill Scout Hut was built on land donated by his family. This building is one of the nicest facilities owed by any North Carolina Troop.

The District Governor Visit

Brad Sears our the 7720 District Governor attended the meeting this week with the message of Rotary Shares. Also in attendance was Tim Finan our Assistant Govenor for Area 7 and Govenor Brad's wife Rita. Prior to the meeting Nathan Smith and other Snow Hill Rotarians met with Govenor Brad to fill him in on the exciting year ahead

Here are some of his comments from the District Web Page:

To be a Rotarian is an honorable designation and distinguished achievement for people who have a heart and mind for service to others. The Rotary Motto of “Service Above Self” is a noble ambition, but easier talked about than achieved.
As Governor, I challenge you to continue our tradition of making a positive difference some place to something or someone in need. Rotary offers each one of us an excellent avenue and opportunity to make our world a better place to live.
Let's share Rotary in service projects and gifts this year is my sincere appeal to each Rotarian in District 7720. In fact, why not “lead” the entire Zone 33 so others may sit up and take notice.
I look forward to seeing you soon. In the meantime, please let me know of any way that I might be of service to you and your Club, as my service this year is to you, the Rotarians in District 7720! Remember...Rotary Shares (and Rotarians make things happen).
- Gov. Brad
