The Mauldin Rotary Club now meets at the Mauldin Cultural Center in a room that they refurbished. The Cultural Center was the former Mauldin Elementary School, and town Fathers raised the money to refurbish the school and build an adjacent Sports Center. There is work remaining, but it is a great start.The "Rotary Room" is a community rooms that was formerly the school library. It has built in projection and sound equipment and is a great meeting room. The Club raised almost $50,000 to renovate the room. They now have a 15 year lease at $1 per year to use the room for Club meetings and other Rotary activities.
I can understand the Club's fund raising culture. Yesterday, Tim Brett put $5 in the bucket and challenged another Rotarian to sing Happy Birthday. This person paid $5 and challenged someone else. This went on until someone finally accepted the challenge and was prepared to sing. Then a new person paid $5 for that person not to sing. Finally, someone threw in $5 and asked for everyone to sing, which they did.
The exercise probably netted at least $60 for club service.
