The Rotary Club of Blue Ridge

The Rotary Club of Blue Ridge is a proud member of Rotary International. Rotarians have joined together from all continents, cultures and industries to take action in our communities and around the world. With a commitment to achieving lasting change, we work together to empower

youth, enhance health, promote peace and, most important, advance the community. While Rotari-ans can serve in countless ways, Rotary has focused its efforts in six areas, which reflect some of the most critical and wide-spread humanitarian needs:Rotary GSR student Richard More

The Ferst Foundation

Books for Georgia Kids

The Ferst Foundation for Childhood Liter-acy provides books for Georgia children ages 0-5. Ferst Foundation books are delivered not just once, but every month, up to 60 times in the child’s critical years of development.

Ferst Foundation program founder Robin Ferst shares that her family read to her from the time she was born. When she was 6 years old, Robin was diagnosed with a hear-ing loss. As it became harder to communicate, she became an avid reader. Books gave her confidence, and opened up a world of imagination and possibility that helped her face and over-come challenges.

One of her favorite books is The Little Engine That Could. The les-son of the Little Blue Engine is that the first step to success is to believe that you can do it. Every book is an exciting adventure,

planting the seeds for our children’s dreams of becom-ing farmers, doctors, inven-tors, dancers or teachers.

Please visit the Ferst Foun-dation at ferstfoundation.org for more info. Also please visit the Ferst table at the Blues Jam today.


Rotary also works to end Polio around the world.

Rotarians use the “4-Way Test” to see if a planned action is com-patible with the Rotary spirit. The test was developed by Rotarian and entrepreneur Herbert J. Taylor during the Great Depression as a set of guidelines for restoring faltering businesses. The 4-Way Test considers the following questions in respect to what we think, say or do:

1. Is it the truth?

2. Is it fair to all concerned?

3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
