Since our inception in 2005, Tellico Lake Rotary Club has supported numerous charities and charitable projects that make a difference in people’s lives. Most of our efforts have benefited many local charities in Monroe and Loudon Counties.
The Rotary Club of Tellico Lake honored seven charities on Friday, September 16, 2016 at their 2nd Annual Charity Dinner held at the First Baptist Church of Tellico Village. From the left are Denise Hill, Branches of Monroe County; Jane Yates, Imagination Library of Monroe County; Tina Smith, Good Shepherd Center of Monroe County; Shauna Oden, Habitat for Humanity of Loudon County; Shawn Snyder, Boys & Girls Club of Loudon County; Bart Howell, Good Samaritan Center of Loudon County; Roger Larsen, Momance Haiti School Project; and John Everson, President of the Tellico Lake Rotary Club. With the need so great in our area, we try to help the charities that offer a helping hand up as opposed to just a hand-out.
