The JJ Beckett Access-ABILITY Committee (formerly the Handicap Committee) primary focus is to assist individuals in overcoming limits caused by a disability and improve access to a fuller life. The committee provides financial assistance to residents in need within our region for the purchase of equipment or services that increase independence, inclusion, advance development and enrich lives

Applicants submit a request for assistance via an application form which is reviewed and investigated by a committee member. A final decision is then made on the application by a vote of the committee.     

Funds for granting requests are generously given by community members and Rotarians annually during an event called Tag Day. Tag Day involves committee members and additional Rotarians requesting donations from community residents at various retail locations throughout the area.

The committee considers all requests but the primary goal of this committee is serving the needs of individuals who have exhausted all other means of assistance.
