Last Thursday’s Rotary meeting brought plenty of laughs and an inspiring program. Billy Kidd entertained us with a fun look at how different Georgia can be depending on where you are, from its cities to its landscapes and residents.

We also welcomed Ruth Tellano Daniel, who shared about her newly established nonprofit, Nurses Care. With more than 30 years in nursing, Ruth has seen the challenges facing the healthcare profession and hopes her organization can help find solutions to the nursing shortage.

Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your mission with us!

Up next on Thursday we heard from our GRSP student, Loski Jin. Loski is from China and will graduate in May from UGA. We were one of 4 clubs in our area to sponsor Loski this year. Loski read a heartfelt letter thanking Rotary for the experiences he encountered in the past year. He also thanked his host family for the experiences of an American Christmas and Thanksgiving. Loski will return to China for a few weeks then on to Detroit this summer to intern in a financial institution. In the fall of this year Loski will begin studies for his Masters of Professional Studies at Cornell University. Loski left us with these words: “When Kindness Crosses Borders, how Rotary Changed my life.” On hand to celebrate his accomplishments was Susan Fortson, GRSP Trustee and a member of the Rotary Club of Elberton.
