The Free Clinics (TFC) continues our efforts to make Henderson and Polk Counties healthier places to live, work, and play with a community wellness event featuring free flu shots, health screenings, and voter registration.

The event is free and the community is welcome to attend. Working in partnership with Walgreens, Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP), and the League of Women Voters of Henderson County (LWV) to present the event, TFC encourages residents of Henderson and Polk counties to take advantage of the free flu shots provided by Walgreens, along with screenings for blood sugar and blood pressure by TFC nurses, free HIV and Hepatitis C tests offered by WNCAP, and voter registration facilitated by LWV.

“Make plans to get vaccinated before flu season begins! It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies that protect against flu to develop in the body,” says RN Jacquelyn Rose, TFC’s Clinical Services Director.  Rose adds, “The CDC recommends that people get a flu shot by the end of October,” and clarifies that no pre-registration is required for the event and individuals may drop in to be seen on a first-come, first-serve basis.

“Local Packs and Troops raise funds to provide support for Scouts in their service area,” said Committee Chairman Dan Little. “Funds are used to provide assistance for Scouts from economically challenged communities by sending scouts to summer camp, provide scouting handbooks, uniforms, “Boys Life Magazine” and payment for the national Boy Scouts Of America annual recharter fee. Raised funds are also used to purchase flags for our veterans’ graves.”

On Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day Cub Scout and Boy Scout Troop 17 honor our deceased veterans at Bethel United Methodist Cemetery by placing flags on their graves.

Boy Scouts Serving Others: Since 1910, over 4,000 young men in Western North Carolina have earned the coveted rank of Eagle Scout. Through their Eagle Scout service projects, thousands of community service hours have been conducted to benefit our communities. In addition, other Scouts from local Packs, Troops and Crews also perform thousands of additional service hours on an annual basis. Scouts in Western North Carolina will perform over 40,000 hours of community service in 2019.

The Boy Scout slogan: “It is the mission of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to serve others by helping to instill values in young people and, in other ways, to prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetime in achieving their full potential.” Through the advancement program and peer group leadership scouting helps a child develop into a well-rounded young person. The Eagle Scout Award, the highest rank in scouting, is recognized around the world as a mark of excellence.

In Boy Scouts, individual members take responsibility for the activities of the troop. By planning and organizing activities, they develop teamwork and learn to lead as well as follow.
