Committee Highlight
Highlighting committees and celebrating our club's contributions & efforts.

Rotary Park was dedicated on February 18, 1972 by the parents of Bobby Pearse.  . Bobby Pearse, Private First Class US Army Kingsley R. Pearse; son of Kingsley H. and Marjorie Johnson Pearse, was killed in World War II at Heasbourg Gap in France on November 14, 1944.  His parents initiated the building fund in the early 1950’s to honor the first killed in action from the Northgate area of Greenville. The North Greenville Rotary Club, Hillcrest Community Club, and the Hillcrest Garden Club were all involved in the project.
 
From 2003 to 2006, two park plans were developed and citizen votes were taken to determine the park’s direction. The picnic shelter and plaza were added, the playground was renovated, the basketball court was relocated and major funds were spent on erosion control along the creek.  Home to the large after-school and summer programs offered in the City of Greenville through the Parks and Recreation programming. These programs have waiting lists and spots are desired by residents in the North Main and surrounding communities.”

Our Rotary Park Committee plans & partners with the City of Greenville to help keep Rotary Park clean and accessible to community members twice a year. Our next park clean up is on Saturday, October 22nd. Be sure to sign up below for a time of fellowship & service above self.

The Kringle Holiday Village Festival will begin with an event that will have Greenville talking for the rest of the year! The Kringle Village VIP Party will kickoff the festivities on Friday, December 9, 2022, at 6pm. VIP Guests will be entertained by local musician Spencer Rush. Spencer’s songs are edgy, and his real-life wit and emotion come through each line, supported by a velvety voice with an incredible range. While the VIP’s listen to Spencer’s music they will dine on delicacies created by Executive Chef Wilbert Sauceda of West End Events at Fluor Field. An accomplished Honduran-born chef who thrives on creating fresh, incredible meals Chef Sauceda will create signature dishes from Germany and beyond that will make our VIP’s think that they are in a European café.  Also, the crowd favorite - The Silent Auction- will be going on in the background for the VIP’s to score some unbelievable auction items in holiday themed fun and giving environment. After the auction closes at 8pm, the VIP guests will join other revelers at the Kringle Mingle on District 356 where they will move and mingle to the sounds of the Steel Toe Stilettos, Greenville’s favorite party band. You will want to avoid FOMO (fear of missing out) and buy your tickets early to confirm your place at THE event of the Greenville 2002 holiday season.
