CHANGE, Inc. Receives Donation from Rotary Club of Bonds Meadow

On Tuesday, June 4th, the Rotary Club of Bonds Meadow held a breakfast and check presentation at Carroll Lutheran Village in Westminster, MD.  In attendance were members of the Bonds Meadow Chapter of the Club and 3 non-profit agencies that provide services to individuals with Developmental Disabilities in Carroll County.    

CHANGE, Inc. would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Rotary Club of Bonds Meadow for their very generous donation. The Rotary Club of Bonds Meadow is another example of a community partner that understands the needs of the very fragile population we provide services to and does what they can to help make those services possible. Many of the services CHANGE provides go above and beyond what State funding allows. (such as our indoor heated pool and Respite Inn) It is the generosity of community partners and individuals that allows CHANGE to continue to provide critical services to people with Developmental Disabilities.

Rotary is a worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities. Rotary's main objective is service - in the community, in the workplace, and around the globe. The 1.2 million Rotarians who make up more than 34,000 Rotary clubs in nearly every country in the world share a dedication to the ideal of "Service Above Self".
