We had a wonderful time at this past week’s Rotary Club of Anderson meeting!

We enjoyed recognizing our Paul Harris Fellows, Rick Smyth, who was honored as a Paul Harris Fellow +3, and Doug Smyth, a Paul Harris Fellow. We are grateful for their continued commitment to Rotary and its mission of service!

We were also excited to welcome two new members to our Rotary family, John Compton and Rio Hall! We look forward to getting to know them and seeing the impact they will make in our club and community.

We also had the pleasure of welcoming Laura Booth from the Anderson County Board of Elections. Laura joined us to share insight into the election process in Anderson County and educate our members with some helpful facts. We were so glad to have her with us as we approach Election Day!

Thank you to everyone who made this week’s meeting special. We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting as we continue serving our community together! 💙💛

We had another great meeting yesterday with many wonderful guests joining us! We started the meeting with an invocation from Teri before welcoming our newest member, Jonathan Hooper, into the Rotary Club of Anderson. We are excited to have Jonathan join our club and look forward to all that he will bring to Rotary and our community!

We were also excited to welcome two representatives from Michelin, Sam Lightsey, Site Manager, and Joel Heard, Operations Manager. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing from both of them and learning more about Michelin’s history, culture, and impact right here in Anderson County.

We especially enjoyed hearing about Michelin’s three Anderson County plants, the pride employees have in being part of this community, and the recognition the Anderson plant has received for its contributions to the community. Sam and Joel also took time to answer questions from our members and guests.

In addition to a great program, our members were able to give back by collecting coats and clothing for The LOT Project. It was a great reminder that even small acts of service can make a meaningful difference in our community!

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday, and a special thank you to Sam and Joel for spending time with the Rotary Club of Anderson. We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect, learn, welcome new members, and continue serving our community!

One of the ways we love giving back to our community is by supporting local schools and students. Recently, Rotarian Marie Peace delivered snack packs to a local school, joined by five volunteers from Michelin who generously gave their time to help make a difference. 💙💛

We’re grateful for Rotarians like Marie and community partners like Michelin who continue to support our local students through simple acts of service. If you’re interested in joining us for a future snack pack opportunity, keep an eye on our social media! We’ll be sharing a calendar soon with upcoming dates and ways you can get involved.

There’s always room to serve, and we’d love to have you join us!

We had a wonderful time at Rotary this past Tuesday! It was another great meeting filled with fellowship, community updates, and an opportunity to learn more about the people and organizations making an impact in Anderson!

We started with an invocation from Terri, followed by a membership moment from Bailee Hayden. Bailee shared about her experience at Clemson and her journey with Sargent Metal, including all the company offers.

We were also excited to welcome two new members into the Rotary Club of Anderson! Please join us in welcoming Jason Gibson and Judith Feltman to the club. We’re excited to have them as part of our Rotary family and look forward to serving alongside them in our community.

Quincella Williams also shared information about upcoming service projects. We’re excited to get our members more involved in serving our community, so be on the lookout for a service calendar coming soon!

Our program featured Dr. Galen DeHay, President of Tri-County Technical College, who shared about the college’s impact on Anderson County and its continued leadership in education. With around 9,000 students annually, Tri-County is a tremendous resource for our community. Dr. DeHay also shared exciting updates about campus and program expansions. He shared that Tri-County is being recognized as an Aspen Prize finalist and named among the Top 10 community colleges in the country, what a wonderful accomplishment for our community! 🙌
