Introducing our District Governor Elect, Rick Young
In 2012, We will welcome Rick Young as District Governor. He served as Lt. Governor in 2011 and we thought you’d like the opportunity to learn more about him.

When Rick Young moved to Emporia-Greensville in 2000 to help out his father-in-law Sherman Harvey, he found a home. Young has a desire to help others so it didn’t take him long to become a member of the Meherrin Ruritan Club, the busiest club in the community.
“I believe you should do for others without expectations other than a ‘thank you’” said Young, a member of Meherrin Ruritan Club for 11 years.

2011 Holland District Convention
The 2011 Holland District Convention started off this morning in Franklin Va at the Paul D. Camp Workforce Center. There was a District Cabinet breakfast before Officer Training sessions. The next item on the agenda was the business session, after lunch of course. After the auctions, it was time for the Banquet. What a great day for Ruritan!
Thanks to Murray Turner, our District Convention Chair and all the others involved in making this event such a great success.
We’ll see you in Raleigh at the 2012 National Convention. It’s right around the corner!
‘Tis the Season!
To celebrate this holiday season, the Great Bridge and Hodges Ferry clubs recently went shopping for the Angel Tree together! They wanted to make sure all the children they could help would have a great Christmas this year. What a great inspiration for all of us!
Enjoy these photos!
