Eleanor Bookstaver discussed the Aiken County Heart Unit's progress with annual benefit shows. The event began with modest funds and fashion shows, evolving into a multi-event gala raising $8,500 last year. One quarter supports the American Heart Association, about 45 percent funds research, and the rest aids community service and training. The upcoming show features a surprise guest. Rotary members meet Thursdays at Houndslake Country Club.
