I had the privilege of attending two fund raising events for polio this weekend. On Friday night, October 16, the Rotary Club of Clemson had their first annual oyster roast. It was the best oysters I have ever eaten. If you are considering an oyster roast, call Clemson and see who they hired. The event raised more than their $2000 annual commitment.
On Saturday, October 17, I attended the Octoberfest Road Race in Walhalla. All five Oconee County Rotary Clubs sponsored the race. Ben Smith from Seneca was the event coordinator and Larry Secrest was the race coordinator. There was a 5K race, a three lap race for children under 12 and a run across the field for the little ones with the Chick Filet cow. The cow finished last. Proceeds from the event went to polio plus.
Sadly, a light rain and cool temperatures reduced the number by half from previous years, but those that were there said it was a great event. Congratulations to AG Kim Gramling and all five Oconee County Rotary Clubs and thanks for your contributions to polio plus.
