RC Hazard warmly welcomed DG Jack McAllister on July 24. In his time with the club he learned of their full schedule of community service projects and fundraising activities. Their fundraising is anchored by their annual Hazard Rotary Club Gala event and makes possible their community service projects led by their signature Rotary Free Clinic. RC Hazard’s commitment to the 2013-14 Rotary International theme Engage Rotary, Change Lives was very evident.

Margaret Hammonds shares information about the Imagination Library

Margaret Hammonds from the Rotary Club of Whitesburg was the guest speaker at the Rotary Club of Hazard on Wednesday September 12, 2012. Her topic was Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, an early childhood literacy program which the Rotary Club of Whitesburg implemented in January 2012. Hazard Rotary is planning to start this program in their area, and hopes to have it in place by spring of 2013. Hammonds was instrumental in bringing this program to the Whitesburg Area during her tenure as Rotary President 2011-2012, and remains the coordinator between the Rotary Club of Whitesburg and the Dollywood Foundation. The Imagination Library provides a free book per month for children under 5 years of age who live in a selected service area, regardless of the family income. The Rotary Club of Whitesburg currently has 143 children registered in the program in the Whitesburg area.
