The Rotary Club of Canton continues to give back to those who are less fortunate in and around Cherokee County.

At the club’s meeting on July 7, Immediate Past President Hugh Beavers presented a $1,000 check to the Cherokee County YMCA. The donation will be used to help provide scholarships to less fortunate children to attend the organization’s summer programs.

The club also made a $1,000 donation to Habitat for Humanity-North Central Georgia. That money will help sponsor the 2015 Women’s Build home under construction in the Park Creek Subdivision in Hickory Flat.

Club members will spend part of their Saturday doing interior painting at the home, which is one of three that will be dedicated Aug. 15.
