Growth from local businesses and new project activity were among these discussed. Also, Rose updated the club on the Emergency Air Transportation (AirMethods) project in place for this year. Many lives have already been saved from this free medical air transport (for a period of 12 months) from Life Net.
Rose Elliott also reminded everyone that the County Council meets every 1st and 3rd Monday night and welcomes all citizens to come to the meetings.
Wade Hampton High School’s newly hired athletic director and head football coach, Dr. Clinton L. (Jerry) Brown spoke to the Hampton Rotary Club and enlightened the club on his expectations for the athletic program for the next few years. In his comments, he attributes his road to success to his faith and a lot of hard work. He stated that conditioning of the players and attitude were key. If the score board isn’t in your favor, something was not done correctly. And yes, they play to win.
The Rotary Club was given a wonderful tour of the Hampton County Museum by the director and some of the members of the Historical Society. This was my first visit to the museum and I have to say, you need to take the time (and take your children) to see this exquisite exhibit of our history displayed here. Stop by and see the arrowheads, clothing, uniforms and artifacts displayed by many volunteers that have made this possible! Thursday and Sunday at specific times 702 First St. West., Hampton Call 803-943-5484 for the hours (posted on the door as well)
Special thanks to Mrs. LaClaire Laffitte, President of the Hampton County Historical Society Board

Our Club was represented this past weekend by Rotarian Kathleen Barnes, Maryann Watson, and Sarah Lyn Tuten. This annual conference is a great way to bring Rotarian from other clubs together to share ideas and goals for the upcoming year. The theme this year was Grease…
One of our very own Rotarians spoke at our meeting on Monday and shared his fascinating experience in the McDonald’s Franchise business. Starting off in the McDonald’s business at the age of 15, he is now the owner of the McDonald’s in Hampton, Ridgeland and Point South (Yemassee). This is a family operated business with his wife Sheila, his daughter Angela and son Jones managing his many locations.
