Rotary Club of Towne Lake Gives Back to the Community The Towne Lake Rotary Club Foundation (TLRCF) raised $7,000, with the help of sponsors and golfers, at the 7th Annual Glowball Golf Tournament. The Foundation disperses about $8,000 a year to local nonprofit organizations.TLRCF also recently donated $5,000 to Ferst Readers of Cherokee County, ensuring that 130 local children receive books throughout the year. “Basic Education and Literacy is one of the seven areas of focus for Rotary International. We feel it’s important that we look right here in our own community to ensure the children in Cherokee County are supported,” said Club President Jim Klynman. Each month, Ferst Readers provides age-appropriate books and a corresponding newsletter to children up to 5 years old. In Cherokee County, 240 children receive Ferst Readers’ services.“Having sufficient funds allows children to continue to grow their love of reading each month with a brand-new book,” said Michelle Maddox, program manager for Ferst Readers. “The Club’s support has also allowed our local volunteers time to reach out to the community in hopes to establish a team who can keep the program sustainable for years to come.”Ferst Readers is looking for more Community Action Team members.
