Join Town of Bluffton leaders, staff, and community members on Saturday, May 4, 2024, from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. at Oyster Factory Park to help clean up the May River, its shores, nearby streets, and parks in the Bluffton Historic District. (Please arrive at 8:30 a.m. to allow time for setup).
We will be asking for volunteers from our club to meet at Oyster Park at 8:30 in our yellow shirts to assist in the town effort and also for any of our members with boats or kayaks to help.
Join us this Wednesday at the Rotary Community Center at 7:30 AM for our weekly meeting. Our President, Mary O'Neill will go over our plans for the membership to help with the Mayfest celebration on May 10th and 11th.

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.
