Jeff Hunter who is also a board member of Langs introduced the Executive Director of Langs Bill Davidson. Bill has been Executive Director of Langs since 1985 where he started at the age of 5. Bill also attended Rotary Group Study Exchange in 2002 as a 17 year old when Larry B was the group leader. ( I don't know how old Larry B is or was as his birthdays are often confusing.)
Langs apparently started in 1978 which makes it 40 this year. As a club we have visited Langs at lunch several times. Bill has invited us back for a tour and a game of pickle ball.( we might have to reserve the court though) For those that don't know, Langs services approximately 15000 people a year. These services range from prenatal to lonely seniors( Dennis B) looking for a place to walk on a track and make new friends. This concept of having so many services in one building is the anonymity. Clients could be there to walk the track , counseling, drug rehab , Alzheimer’s counseling or back pain as there are Physicians and Chiropractors on site. Langs is looking to expand with 8200 square feet and additional parking. !7 new agencies have applied but in all likelihood 7 new agencies will move in to the new premises. They also opened separate premises in Ayr just for our new member Todd. and his family. Linda B gave the club official thanks. |
