Bethany Marcinkowski, Vice President Education Impact for United Way of the Lowcountry, spoke to the Bluffton Rotary Club on September 2 about the importance of literacy in the Lowcountry and encouraged Rotarians to volunteer in their Read Indeed! program.
The Technical College of the Lowcountry issued the following statement after receiving a gift from the Bluffton Rotary Evening Club from our first annual golf outing.
"TCL is made stronger by a community that believes in our students and the futures they are working hard to build.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Bluffton Rotary Satellite Club for its generous contribution to TCL’s Nursing Scholarship Fund. For a student pursuing a career in nursing, scholarship support can be life changing. It can ease a financial burden and help that student continue moving confidently toward graduation.
This gift will open doors for future nurses who will one day care for individuals and families throughout the Lowcountry. We are deeply grateful to the Rotary Club of Bluffton Evening Satellite for believing in our students and helping TCL prepare the healthcare professionals our community needs."
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.

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.
