During our April meeting we heard from Dr. Anna Ponder, Vice Chancellor of USCB, who shared with the group how our last donation is being used to provide scholarship assistance for Hilton Head Nursing students. Our February donation was directed to the Hilton Head Hospital Auxiliary who is involved with two missions; one to provide assistance directly to patients and a second to provide nursing scholarships. Three members shared our next opportunity to help the local groups performing the heavy lifting for the community. There are several opportunities on the island and it was great that three members took the time to share where they felt was the most current need or area we could help this quarter. Members voted and raised the following funds for local groups. Programs for Exceptional People $13,000 Operation Patriots FOB $1,100 Sandalwood Food Pantry $1,100 All great causes in our community. We have linked the simple presentations to the names above. if you would like to get additional information or you can search them on the web.

Over 85% of adults with disabilities are unemployed nationally. This statistic is echoed in our local area and vocational training and social opportunities here are extremely limited. We believe that everyone, of any ability, is not only capable but deserves to be an active participant in and make unique contributions to their local communities. EIN# 47-1283875
