We have enjoyed a busy couple of weeks. We recently inducted two new members, Bobby Tyler and Alicia Dasch; congratulations to both! We also presented a donation check to Isaiah 117 House. In addition, we had the pleasure of hosting two exceptional speakers: Jordan Tabor discussed his background and passion for the trades, and Ritchie Russell and Destiny Smith shared insights from the York County Juvenile Diversion Program. It's great to be a Rotarian!

Rotary’s annual literacy picnic is always a fantastic evening full of community spirit, with all elementary schools in the district working together towards a common goal. Thank you to all of Fort Mill’s elementary schools for participating and taking the time to create their own themed booths. Congratulations to the three winners – we look forward to continuing to promote literacy and to next year’s picnic.

Serving at the Bethel Men’s Shelter is close to our hearts; it’s always great seeing the children of Rotarians getting involved at such a young age. Service Above Self.

Days like yesterday are what make us proud Rotarians. Our annual Literacy Picnic was a great success, marked by the distribution of over 3,000 books (each child received two free books), the serving of more than 2,300 hot dogs, several author book readings, and even a chance to meet a cow. The event also showcased performances by local schools, community partners, and featured engaging theme booths representing all elementary schools within the Fort Mill School District. Amazing! In addition, every first-grade student and their family were invited to participate. The event provided an ideal platform for advocating reading and literacy on a leisurely (almost rain-free) afternoon at the Anne Springs Greenway. Thank you to everyone who assisted with this fantastic day, special recognition goes out to Gretchen Johnson for leading this initiative.
