Ruritan clubs in the Dan River District gathered at the HDJB Event Center in Bassett on Saturday for the annual convention. District Governor Charlie Bowman said that the district encompasses Patrick, Henry, Pittsylvania, and Halifax counties and currently has 41 clubs. He said Ruritans elect new officers, hear speeches from outgoing officers, and hand out awards during the annual convention. Clubs also donated items to be included in a Red Cup Auction to raise money for St. Jude’s and the Ruritan Foundation.
