Rotarians in Action!
Thank you to the many volunteers who helped with the oyster reef project, which provides habitat for marine life, this past Saturday!
 
 
 
Club Members enjoyed attending the Membership Summit this past weekend and enjoyed hearing from Assistant District Governor and fellow club Rotarian, Dan Ciuffreda.
 
 
SPECIAL NOTE

REQUESTING YOUR RESPONSE: ROTARY TESTIMONIALS

1. What does Rotary mean to you?
2. What is your favorite service project that the Rotary Club of Bluffton participates in/does?
3. Why did you choose to be part of Rotary?
 
CART FUND DONATIONS
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.
