The Rotary Club of Atlanta West End’s June 12 meeting will be a special site visit to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home (OLPH), a skilled nursing facility operated by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. The visit will include a tour of the Home and a presentation of the club’s annual donation to the sisters.

About Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home (OLPH)

• OLPH provides palliative care for persons afflicted with incurable cancer.
• The Home serves persons who cannot afford needed care and operates as a free home for those individuals.
• OLPH is operated by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne.
• The Home is funded solely through voluntary donations from the public; it accepts no payment from patients, families, insurance companies, government agencies, or other third parties.

The Rotary Club of Atlanta West End’s support

The Rotary Club of Atlanta West End maintains an annual donation relationship with OLPH. The club’s donation supports the work of OLPH and the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne.

How the club funds the donation

The bulk of the club’s annual donation is raised through the club’s meeting icebreaker trivia game, Tasse Trivia. At the start of club meetings, members play a trivia game where wrong or humorous answers are encouraged. Each wrong answer generates a $1 contribution from the person who answered incorrectly. Those dollars are collected over time and aggregated to form most of the donation. The club then uses additional club funds to top off the donation so that the final check amount is a clean, round number.
