President Alex's Message

Fellow Rotarians:
Thank you for your prayers and good wishes. Covid is no joke but I am on the mend. I really appreciate the family of Rotary and so many people checking in on me and offering food etc.
A special thank you for Governor Elect Gordon stepping in to lead our meeting last weekend. By all accounts it was a terrific meeting with Maurice Smith and his inspirational story of choosing to make a difference. I believe that this mindset is the power of Rotary. There is nothing we cannot do if we do not try.
I also wish to thank the Meetings Committee, Chaired by David White. David goes above and beyond to make sure that our meetings run on time and that food service is what it should be. David has been working tirelessly with the city and our vendors to ensure that our club gets nothing but the best. Please thank him and Talk of the Town for setting the bar! We will continue to improve our food offerings and maintain our budget.
This week we have South Carolina Representative Brandon Guffey joining us. This will undoubtedly be a moving and important meeting concerning mental health as he shares his own story of the loss of his high school son to suicide through social media platform organized sex extortion.

South Carolina House of Representatives, Brandon Duffey

Brandon Guffey is currently a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives for District 48 in South Carolina. As a politician Guffey has made it his mission to raise awareness and bring change to cyber crimes as a result of losing his teenage son, Gavin, in 2022 due to sextortion. As a freshman legislator he was able to get a law passed in his first year against sextortion, an unheard of task for a freshman. Gavin's Law defines the terms of "Sextortion" and has made SC the strictest state on penalties for abuse. Guffey has also launched a foundation, Less Than 3 , Incorporated (www.lessthan3SC.org) in May of 2023. Less Than 3 is a 501(c) (3) foundation with the focus of raising awareness about teenage mental health and suicide.
On a personal and professional level, Brandon is a husband, father and entrepreneur. He has bought and sold multiple service and retail businesses. Brandon's goals are to help South Carolina become a more safe place to live and raise our children safely.
