Rotarians are leaders in their communities, and we'll share Rotary's mission, areas of service, and the benefits of membership, such as networking and fellowship, leadership development, and community service – as well as the global impact this organization has had for more than 100 years.
You'll learn all about Rotary, including its history, values, international projects (like the fight against polio), and local club activities. And why becoming a member can have deep and long - lasting impact on you!
It's the perfect chance to meet like-minded people, learn about doing community projects with the dozen Rotary club's here in the Hilton Head area, and find out how you can make a difference.
Whether you're curious or already interested, come and see what Rotary is all about. Don’t miss out on this awesome opportunity to connect and grow!
Our guest speaker for our February 11 meeting will be Jackie Currie, the Bee Lady, a self-appointed steward of the species.
She drives with bees flying around in her Prius. She climbs trees to capture wild swarms. She tracks the “nectar flow” from the year’s first blooming red maples and dandelions to the last goldenrods and asters of fall.
She will be talking about honeybees and highlights the new threat of the invasive Yellow-Legged Hornet.
Regardless of issue, please let us know if something is going on to prevent you from attending our meetings. We have many members who can help, pray, or just call to lift your spirits.
Club Dues Invoices - please submit payment at your earliest convenience. Several Rotarians have outstanding balances from prior invoices - if you are unsure of who you are, please reach out to Don Kensey, Rotary Club of Bluffton Treasurer.
Do you worry about Alzheimer’s? We do not have a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but we must find one. Finding a cure starts with you. Every year the CART (Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust) Fund gives research grants focused on finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
Have you given to the CART Fund this year? The CART Fund is dedicated to raising funds to provide “seed” money for cutting edge, high impact research in hopes of finding a cure/prevention for Alzheimer’s disease. The goal of the CART Fund is to encourage exploratory and developmental Alzheimer’s disease research projects within the United States. This is accomplished by providing financial support for the early and conceptual plans of those projects that may not yet be supported by extensive preliminary data but have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research. These projects should be distinct from those designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area unless they intend to extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications.
