Bill Kent & Logan Burchette spoke on the new robotics program coming into each of the Iredell Statesville Schools. Cyberkids Robotics is designed to have teams of 8 kids. They build robots with Legos to certain specs set by the program. This is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote & improve STEM education throughout North & South Carolina. STEM is science, technology, education & math. The teams learn how to solve problems & work together. Teams are very diverse with almost an equal number of females to males. One goal is to break the stereotype that girls don't like engineering. Elementary & middle schools work with robots while high schools work with drones. The goal is that the high schoolers learn rules & regulations in flying the drones that will allow them a federal license to fly one. Competitions are held annually for each school system Iredell will host one April 16 at Statesville High School. There will be 33 teams competing this year. You can find more information on www.cyberkidrobotics.com.

Fourth Creek Rotary presented Natalie Stormant of Power Cross a check for $5,000. The funds were part of the money raised from the Laura Laws Memorial Golf Tournament. Natalie & husband Jeff, have worked selflessly reaching out to boys in need of guidance. Last school year had the first group of graduating boys. They had a 100% graduation rate.
Chris Bates & Skip McMurry presented Maggie Hamm, marketing VP from Carolina Farm Credit, accepted an award from Statesville Fourth Creek Rotary recognizing their support for the SEEDS Program. They have provided $10,000 over the last 10 years helping make an impact growing food world wide. She stated that they partnered with Fourth Creek because they feel strongly in supporting farmers across the US & feel this is an opportunity to impact farmers across the world. The Fourth Creek Rotary also matched $2,500 raised by the local Interact Clubs to increase the impact the seeds have globally.
Statesville Fourth Creek Rotary hosted the Laura Laws Memorial Golf Tournament Sept. 17, 2015. Money raised supports scholarships for Iredell Co. & Alexander Central High School Seniors. Laura had a passion for children & their learning. There were three former NBA celebrities on hand golfing, signing autographs & sharing their stories why they "serve". Phil Ford, Al Wood, and Tommy Burleson were the main attraction after the dinner. All three shared their stories about how someone opened the door for them to allow them an opportunity and they felt led to "pay it forward". Burleson said being able to serve others is the greatest gift ever.
As we go into this new Rotary year let us be mindful of our 2015-16 theme:
"Be a Gift to the World"
2015-16 President Skip McMurry
