Top 5 Reasons to

Support the Rotary Foundation 1. Eradicating Polio Rotary launched its PolioPlus program in 1985. Since then, eradicating polio has been the organization's top priority. 2. Basic Education & Literacy Education helps rebuild lives, whether it's in small rural towns or in war-torn countries. 3. Promoting Peace & Conflict Resolution Rotary Peace Fellows are leaders in promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and conflict resolution. Peace and conflict prevention/resolution is the first area of focus. 4. Reducing Child Mortality Proper sanitation can reduce the rate of child mortality in many communities by up to a third. Water and sanitation is the third area of focus. 5. Fighting Hunger Hunger projects help address the areas of focus of maternal and child health as well as economic and community development.

K.C. was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Bethesda, Maryland. As a child he was always doing something athletic and competed in his first tennis tournament at age 9. He continued playing junior tournaments and was ranked as high as 10th in the state of Maryland. He played a little basketball, along with tennis, at Walt Whitman High School where he graduated in 1985. Next stop was the University of Maryland where K.C. graduated in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Finance. While in school, K.C. “padded” his resume with numerous leadership roles in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. Before jumping into the workforce, K.C. traveled across the country visiting friends in Atlanta, Phoenix and Los Angeles. After six weeks of travel and resources dwindling, the decision was made to test the job market down south in Atlanta. K.C. and four friends moved to Chamblee in 1990. Initially, bartending and waiting tables paid the bills, but it also introduced K.C. to his future wife, Lisa. Lisa grew up in Connecticut, moved with her family to Atlanta in 1983 and attended Crestwood High School. K.C. and Lisa were married in 1995.
