This Week's Program

Ben Huntzinger - Spartan Wheel Chariot

Spartan Wheel Chariots is owned by a paraplegic outdoor fanatic who started by building rugged off-road wheelchairs on the tailgate of his pickup truck. Even the best conventional wheelchairs are not designed for outdoor use.

Founder Ben Huntzinger was determined to fix that.Ben researched the least expensive products that still maintain strong integrity for all day rugged terrain. That way, everyone could afford an off-road ride. He partnered with Spinergy Wheels, the Cadillac of wheels to identify a strong and reliable wheel with the best price per wheel. We believe everybody worldwide needs access to living. Backwoods Wheelchairs is the answer.

In 2019, Ben participated in the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's InVenture Prize Competition. He placed second, and found an incredible community of support for his rugged wheelchairs. Since then, our mission has been to partner with extraordinary people in providing an extraordinary product. We're changing lives, one wheelchair at a time.

Honor Someone Special with a Paul Harris Fellowship

Rotarians have a tradition of supporting the Foundation by honoring others since 1957. The number of Paul Harris Fellows reached the 1 million mark in 2006.

There are few things better than recognizing individuals who are important to us and have made a difference in our lives and careers. Please consider doing that by naming them as a Paul Harris Fellow.

For information on the number of recognition points you have available or to make a contribution, please see John Glen.

The Official Rotary Flag



An official flag was formally adopted by Rotary International at the 1929 Convention in Dallas, Texas. The Rotary flag consists of a white field with the official wheel emblem emblazoned in gold in the center of the field. The four depressed spaces on the rim of the Rotary wheel are colored royal blue. The words "Rotary" and "International" printed at the top and bottom depressions on the wheel rim are also gold. The shaft in the hub and the keyway of the wheel are white.
