Rotary Supports Our Community
Since July 1, our club has offered support to several community organizations as a result of our two major fundraisers last year.  Arrangements are being made to get photos of representatives from each of these with President Samantha Comer so that we can publicize our efforts in the Daily Times, on our website and on Facebook.   Those recipients include:
 
   
 
  
 
 
$1000 to Steven A. Hunter Hope Hunter Fund to support feeding programs for students in Scioto County. (Mark Hunter, Rotarian and Director of the Fund with President Samantha Comer)
$250 to Cradle Pregnancy Care Center for parenting materials. (Hannah Toney, Office Manager at CRADLE shown with President Comer.)
$250 Salvation Army  for Sponsorship of the 2019 Kettle Drive
$1500 to SOPAA for the Send A Kid program which offers all area students a reduced ticket price for selected shows. 
$4500 to Southern Central Ohio Education Service Center - Mock Trial, County Science Fair, Quiz Bowl, Scioto County Honors Music Festival, Art Shows, Scioto County Science Fair,  Scioto County Spelling Bee,  Summer Enrichment Scholarship Program
 
Thanks to all Rotarians who supported last year's Rose Sale and Fish Fry which allow us to support community programs such as these.
