The Latest Bluffton Rotary News
NO MEETING: DECEMBER 27
As a friendly reminder, there will NOT be a meeting this week - Happy Holidays!
 
MEETING RECAP: DECEMBER 20
Our last meeting was a special one! We enjoyed recognizing local students from M.C. Riley Elementary and Red Cedar Elementary Foxes as the November and December Students of fhe Month!
 
We then inducted Charlie Wetmore to the Rotary Club of Bluffton followed by a special group activity that was used to bless others during the Holiday season.
 
ROTARIANS IN ACTION!
Last month, we held the annual "Happy Feet" event where we gave out 230 pairs of shoes to local students and families. In addition, the Lions Club of Bluffton partnered with us to donate 7 pairs of socks to each student.
 
Thank you, Club Rotarians, for joining us to make a difference in the lives of our community members!
 
 
 
A festive time was had by all at the Rotary Annual Christmas Party! Congratulations to this year's winner of the Ugly Christmas Sweater, Shawn Marlowe!

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.
