On Saturday, our club, along with members from Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake, with 4Kids4Families, Athens First Methodist Church, Two Danes Productions, and other volunteers held an Adoption Match Event designed to connect children waiting for permanent families with prospective adoptive parents.
While paperwork has been started, there are still steps to go, but organizers are hopeful the event will result in more than 10 adoptions, creating life-changing opportunities for children and families alike.
Rotary is proud to have played a small role in a day that may change lives forever. Thank YOU especially to Dub Hirst and his wife Karen who brought this idea to the are and everyone who gave their time, talents, and hearts to help make this event possible.
From check-in and activities to games, crafts, entertainment, food, and volunteer support, it took many people working together to create a welcoming environment where meaningful connections could happen.
Sometimes service isn't measured in projects completed or dollars raised. Sometimes it's measured in families found.
