The Fayette Samaritans
have a little breathing room thanks to Wayne Leslie of Leslie Contracting,
who has been allowing the group to operate out of one of his office
buildings. Leslie had agreed to let the charitable group use some office
space in one of his buildings for a year after they lost their previous
space. They agreed to vacate when he was ready to renovate.
Lena
Slaughter was born and brought up in North Carolina. She went to nursing
school in Ashville, then to Ocala, Fla., to work. After a while, the
lure of home called and she moved back to North Carolina.
When Rona Fong heard
fellow Rotarian Mary Chapman tell the group that 17 residents at Southland
Nursing Home didn't have anyone to visit them, she didn't say anything,
she just decided to quietly take it upon herself to take them under
her wing.
