The group will depart from the Senior Center at 11:00 AM and return by 2:00 PM. Best of all, the outing is completely free, including transportation and lunch.

While visiting Kim’s Vineyard and Winery, guests will have the opportunity to purchase a variety of homegrown canned vegetables and fruits at their own expense.

Kim’s Vineyard and Winery is a treasured gem in Warren County, established in 1995 by Cheryl and Walter Royster. What began as a hobby for Mr. Royster—planting a few rows of grapes to test his green thumb—has grown into a thriving operation.

By 2004, the Roysters expanded their passion project to include a winery.

Today, the vineyard spans over five acres of land, with the winery adding another two acres. This family-operated business offers a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere and boasts a selection of more than 18 different types of wine, ensuring there’s something to suit every palate.

Don’t miss this chance to explore a unique part of Warren County’s agricultural and cultural heritage. Seating for this outing is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot early.

The Roanoke Rapids Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. is known for their generosity, so their latest act of community service should not come as a surprise.

At the end of July during the peak days of sweltering heat, members Odell Clanton, William Kearney, and Brian Giddiens donated and delivered 20 fans to the Warren County Senior Center in Warrenton, NC.

Although the hot summer days affect us all, the heat can lead to serious health concerns for our elderly community. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

On site to receive the generous donation were Shawn Burton (Warren County Senior Center), Tyra Simes (Warren County Social Services), Alan Winstead (Kerr-Tar COG), and Crystal Smith (Interim County Manager).

This initiative was part of the fraternity’s ongoing efforts to support not only the Warren County community, but their philanthropic works span to Halifax and Northampton counties.

And their generosity is year-round. During the holiday season, the Kappa Alpha Psi members adopt a family in need for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Their most recent act of kindness will not only keep a nice breeze circulating through 20 households, but is also a potential lifesaver.

And we think that’s pretty cool.
