A huge thank you to Michole for organizing and leading our project to create 200 menstrual care bags for our community and for personally delivering them today!

From coordinating the project to making sure these much-needed items reached those who need them, Michole made it happen. Her dedication to serving others is a wonderful example of Service Above Self.

Thank you, Michole, for all you do for our community and the Rotary Club of Seneca. We appreciate you!

Yesterday, members of the Rotary Club of Seneca gathered at Salute Wine & Shoppe for an afternoon of fellowship and service, assembling 200 menstrual hygiene bags for women in our community.

All of the products were generously donated, allowing our members to turn those donations into ready-to-distribute bags that will be provided to The Golden Corner Food Pantry for neighbors who need them.

And the generosity went even further! 💜

Additional products left after assembling the 200 bags are being donated to United Way of Oconee County, helping these essential items reach even more people throughout our community.

Projects like this are a reminder that meeting a basic need can make a meaningful difference in someone's day and that when organizations work together, our impact reaches much further.

A special thank you to Salute Wine & Shoppe for hosting us, and our Rotarians who came together to pack the bags.

This week, the Rotary Club of Seneca is pleased to welcome Andrew J. Robinson, whose story of leadership and service began right here in Seneca.

A proud 1992 graduate of Seneca High School, Andrew attended Palmetto Boys State in 1991 after being sponsored by American Legion Post 120. The experience made such an impact that he returned the following year as a junior counselor, and more than three decades later, his commitment to developing young leaders continues.

Andrew went on to serve our country for more than 28 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer Four (CW4). He earned his MBA from Touro University Worldwide and today works as an Accountant at Clemson University.

Despite a career that has taken him far beyond Seneca, Andrew continues to invest in the community that helped shape him. He remains active with American Legion Post 120, coached football at Seneca High School from 2021–2025, and is passionate about mentoring and developing the next generation of young men through Palmetto Boys State.

Andrew and his wife, Denise, have been happily married for more than 27 years and are the proud parents of two daughters, Reese (21) and Paisley (11).

Please join us Thursday as we welcome Andrew and hear more about his journey of service, leadership, and giving back to the next generation.

Last week, we had the opportunity to learn more about the incredible work Christ Central Ministries is doing right here in Oconee County to help individuals and families impacted by substance use disorder.

What began 17 years ago with crockpots, folding tables, and a simple desire to serve a meal has grown into a network of recovery programs, transitional housing, peer support, counseling, and partnerships with law enforcement, the courts, employers, and community organizations.

Through programs including OARS, Magnolia House, and services within the Oconee County Detention Center, Christ Central is working to meet people where they are by providing alternatives to incarceration and helping individuals find treatment, employment, housing, and a path toward long-term stability.

One statistic shared with us was especially powerful: their programs are currently seeing a 73% success rate, measured by graduates who have not experienced a re-arrest or drug overdose within six months of completing the program.

But behind every statistic is a person, a neighbor, a parent, a son or daughter, a coworker, or someone we may pass every day in our own community. This is exactly why our support of local organizations matters.

Thank you to Christ Central Ministries for sharing your mission with us and, more importantly, for reminding us what is possible when a community comes together to serve.
