Host an Ophthalmologist
Our Club, along with the other two clubs in Beaufort, have financially participated in a joint American Academy of Ophthalmology/Rotary Foundation program "wherein young ophthalmologists from developing countries who have shown a strong interest in the prevention/reduction of blindness in their home countries and who have never been to the States before, visit a local Rotary Club for about a week and then go on to the AAO convention." Dr. Baxter McLendon hosts the Beaufort program, who the club has supported for a number of years.
