The Arkadelphia Rotary Club is joining with ALCOA, the C.A.R.E. Backpack program, and other community partners to collect food and other basic necessities for children during their time away from school.

ALCOA is planning a big event ending the summer drive on August 8 at Central Primary. Arkadelphia Radio station will do a live remote from the school and the Daily Siftings Herald newspaper will be on hand to help recognize participating businesses in the joint effort to benefit local children.

We hope you will help by delivering donations to any of the Arkadelphia Rotary Club meetings in July or to the permanent collection box in the administration suite at Arkadelphia Town Hall, 700 Clay Street.

Your meal donations can mean the difference in whether a local child eats outside of school, so please remember to bring items to be distributed.

Wolfe and Teague inducted into the Arkadelphia Rotary Club

In June, the Arkadelphia Rotary Club inducted two new members into the club: Lacy Wolfe and Chris Teague. The club is happy to welcome these two young professionals. We hope you will get to know both Lacy (left) and Chris (right) as they become even more active in the community. Read below for a quick introduction to both.

Chris Teague
Chris is employed by McCauley Services Pest Control, where he has excelled, passing additional coursework in his field from Purdue University. Going above and beyond in his profession, he will take a test later this year to become an Associate Certified Entomologist. Chris has been with McCauley Services for over 9 years and has earned several sales and production awards and been selected as associate of the year by his peers. In his free time, Chris has helped in the construction of several homes for the group Habitat for Humanity, even using his professional skills to complete several preconstruction termite treatments for the homes. We are certain he will continue to benefit the local community as a new member of the club. He lives in Bismarck with his wife Tonya, son Christopher, and daughter Anngalena.

Lacy Wolfe
Lacy is employed by Ouachita Baptist University as a Reference and Circulation librarian, where she has worked collaboratively with area librarians to secure grants for special programming for her institution and the community. She was recognized -- as one of 56 nominations selected nationwide -- as a 2014 Emerging Leader for the American Library Association. This fall, she will serve as manager of the new Institutional Repository to house intellectual output of the university faculty staff, and students. Lacy is active in her church, First Presbyterian, and in Junior Auxiliary, where she has volunteered with several projects to benefit local children. Lacy has been affiliated with Rotary in the past, through her service in the Henderson Rotaract Club as a student, so it is fitting that she continue that service with induction into this club. She lives in Joan with her husband William.
