The High Rock Lake River Rats held an on-the-lake Poker Run on Saturday, July 19. Participants purchased a hand and drew a card on Friday night.
Four cards were drawn Saturday afternoon at four piers on Abbotts Creek.Host piers provided theme decorations, snacks, beverages, and even a
live band. The final two cards were drawn at a cookout on Saturday night. Bill Long, of Oakwood Acres, won $500 for the best poker hand and Jim and Jan Devine placed second for a $250 cash prize. Over $1600 were
raised for the group which helps needy children and families in the local area. The River Rats also donated $100 to the American Children's Home for this month's golf tournament fund raiser. The group will soon begin
work and planning for their annual Christmas Benefit. Membership forms and information may be accessed at HRLRR.com, or call Chip Meyers at 336-859-9822. |

HOW YOU CAN HELP !
For more than a decade the River Rats have been able to serve the community on an increasing scale. The group has relied upon the generous contributions and support of a few faithful individuals and local small businesses to procure the bare necessities in regard to services, supplies and expenses to conduct its activities. Members have had to beg, borrow and rent to meet various needs. This factor presents a year round struggle for the organization. In order to prepare for an event, the members have to start soliciting needed items and services immediately following the previous event. A perpetual fund raising effort of raffles, auctions and “passing the hat” places an undue burden on the active members and faithful supporters. Further, these constant needs limit the effectiveness of many worthwhile endeavors. |

Our Mission We, the members of the High Rock Lake River Rats., Inc, do offer ourselves to our community, to protect the environment and to improve the quality of life. WHO ARE THE RIVER RATS?
 In the mid-1980’s, a group of friends comprised of residents of High Rock Lake and “weekend warriors” congregated regularly to socialize. In 1987, while the group was gathered at a Southmont facility for a Christmas party, a need in the community was made known to those present and the group took up a collection of $650.00 to help. The following year, a similar event occurred and $1250.00 was collected to help the needy, including a family whose home had been destroyed by fire. In 1989, the group decided to further the tradition by holding an auction of items donated by local individuals and businesses to raise money to buy “Santa” gifts, food, and clothing for local needy families. This worthwhile endeavor, combined with the social element, generated increasing interest from members of the community and throughout Davidson County. The original group of roughly 14 individuals formed an informal club and elected officers. Club membership was established and immediately began to grow in number. |
