Blair, Bohlé and Whitsitt, PLLC Encourages Support for Local Schools through Rotary Club

CHARLOTTE, NC – August 5, 2010 – Blair, Bohlé & Whitsitt, PLLC, (BBW) a locally based CPA firm, is working with the Ballantyne Rotary Club to encourage corporate and individual support for the Ballantyne area’s elementary schools. The Ballantyne Rotary Club’s 2010 School Supply Drive offers the opportunity for donations to be made and dropped off at participating locations, including Blair, Bohlé & Whitsitt’s office, in the Ballantyne area.

Rotary Club member and Managing Partner for Blair, Bohle & Whitsitt, PLLC, John Blair, says, “Last year the Ballantyne Rotary Club donated more than 250 backpacks full of necessary supplies to help the area’s children start a successful school year. We have the opportunity to be that support system again this year.”

The supply need for children is tremendous and for those families who struggle meeting household commitments, the extra needs are often too much, especially when multiple children have the need for the same long list of supplies. Drop offs should be made at any of the locations listed below by August 20 so supplies will be available to children for the first day of school on August 25th.
