Rotary Club of Hampton County

The Rotarians of the Hampton County Club met at the EMS building for a tour  hosted by Chris Altman, Director.

Chris Altman gave us a tour of the EMS system that is now in place for our county.   One of which is state of the art.

We were able to see the emergency system in action and tour the ambulances that are equipped to handle any emergency needed when sent out on a call.

Pig Out day on March 11, 2019! Our CART goal for the event was $200, and we raised $582.51!!!! Great job!  The total raised will be sent to the CART fund in honor of Roger Ackerman, one of the Rotarians who began CART back in 1995.

A big thanks to Debbie Elrod for providing the pigs and coming up with the fundraiser, Joseph for encouraging the club to honor Roger Ackerman, and to Mary Ann for keeping up with all of the heavy pigs and counting all the money!! Great team effort!

Liz Glover visited the Hampton County Rotary meeting on March 25, 2019, to speak to the club about her journey with human trafficking victims. She and her husband, founders of Be Nice Corp in Varnville, SC are working to empower individuals in the LowCountry by teaching them a trade, inevitably providing them an escape from a lack of opportunity. Liz has a true passion for helping others, which resonated while she spoke. Her hope is that others will be sparked to find a way to help those in need.
