ROTARY MINUTES 11/05/08
The meeting was called to order by President Eddie Robinson. Health and Happiness was presented by Lyman Whitehead. Judy Johnson reminded the membership of the Irmo Chamber Auction on November 13.
Classification Talks were delivered by Bill Kopelman at Carolina First and Brooks Williams at Ballentine Group.
The Interact Group at DJJ raised funds and their current Preisdent presented a check for $300 to Special Olympics. The Interact Group challenged the Rotary Membership to meet that donation and the Membership donated $328.
Our speaker was Elliott Epps, Director of City Year.
In 1994 Elliott attended a Servathon and embraced the idea of 1 year of service to the community. City Year encourages young people (18 – 25 years) to give 1 year of service and leadership to country. Columbia’s City Year program is one of 18 in the United States. It gives young people a chance to make a change for the good of the world.
