By almost any standard, Fort Mill is a great club. They have become famous for their water projects in Honduras, but they also support a wide range of service locally. In the Fort Mill Club, the 80/20 rule often means that 80% of the 100 member club participates.
Wednesday night's fundraiser was at Beef O'Brady's, a franchise owned by club member Michael Hunt. Waitress Susan Fuller and Waiter Jeff Harr wore T Shirts that said "we work for tips." The money raised will provide scholarships for children in the rural areas of Honduras. The total cost for four kids in Honduras is $63 per month, or $2520 per school year.
The place was packed with Rotarians. Some came to eat dinner. Some came to have a beverage and harrass the waiter, who was at various times smacked on the bottom and told to hike up his shorts. Many came by just to drop off money. Exhausted at the end of the three hour event, Jeff and Susan said they had new respect for anyone who waits tables. The club raised $2100, which combined with the $480 left over from last year, was more than enough to fund all four students.'
Melanie Sills said it best during Happy Bucks. "I am just happy to be a member of this club and to be surrounded by such great people."
