Our Club answered the “5th” 4-Way Test question “Will It Be Fun?!” with a resounding “YES!” at our “Rotary Day” event on September 18th that was held in conjunction with Healthy Learners. Five Points Rotarians, their families and friends gathered to fill baskets with supplies that will be distributed to over 90 school nurses. It certainly wasn’t all work and no play – thanks to great food from Village Idiot and great tunes, all involved had fun completing nearly 100 baskets in record-breaking time!
Jo Pauling–Jones, Executive Director of Healthy Learners, told the club on August 8 about success stories for children who were referred to this mission of the Sisters of Charity Health System, based in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Sisters own Providence Hospitals in Columbia. One example was an 8-year-old boy who needed glasses. He got the glasses and has graduated from the University of South Carolina.
Two of our Five Points Rotarians, President Teri and Jenny Isgett, serve on the Healthy Learners board.
