Please join us for our next club meeting this Wednesday, September 21, at 7:30 AM at the Rotary Community Center! This week we will hear from Nancy Sutton, Hospice Administrator, with Pruitt Health.
Nancy is excited to join us to share insights with us on what hospice really does, and the things many people do not know about end of life care.
Last Wednesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming our Rotary District Governor Bob Gross as our speaker. Attendees were reminded of the impacts that we make, both locally and internationally, what it means to be a Rotarian, what our area focuses are, and so much more. It’s an exciting time to be a Rotarian!
This is just a reminder that we have a ROCS day on Saturday and it is open to all clubs. We have activities at VIM, Deep Well, Memory Matters, and The Children's Center on the island as well as Family Promise in Bluffton. The Rotary Club of Hilton Head Island is sponsoring lunch at Jarvis Creek Park after for all participants.
This is a great opportunity for our club and any prospective members who need to fulfill their service project requirements for our club.
Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Bluffton showed up in force this past weekend for the 33rd Annual Beach Sweep/River Sweep at the Oyster Factory Park!
