Message from the President

I am excited for all the things we have going on in Buckhead Rotary. The calendar is your best friend, and it is super easy to stay in the know.

 

We have a growing and thriving club and it is because each of you gives their all to Buckhead Rotary.

 

As I shared in this week’s meeting my three goals for this year are

1.        Engage – To help you engage in ways that matter most to you. Whether it's through our regular meetings, various volunteer options, or our Thirsty ThirdsDay socials, "My Rotary-My Way" is designed to help you engage in ways that you find most fulfilling. Remember, the more you participate, the more you'll get out of your membership.

2.        Inspire – Our signature service projects are at the heart of the impact we make in the community. Our newest project with LifeLine Animal Project joins our ongoing work with the Shepherd Center and the Boyse Ansley School. Participating in the way that brings you the greatest fulfillment is key. We also inspire each other when we recognize those who go above and beyond for our club and community.

3.        Energize – Let's bring energy and fun to everything we do! Our LifeLine Animal Project is sure to bring joy, whether you're volunteering to take a dog for a day, helping at a pet health event, or delivering food through our partnership with OpenHand. And of course our continued work with the Shepherd Center and the Boyse Ansley School are additional ways to bring energy and fulfillment. These are just a few ways to volunteer and make a real difference.

 

Ultimately our commitment to the above leads to a healthy and thriving club that continues to grow and evolve with its members.

 

Nominate Your Fellow Rotarians

It’s an important focus for my presidency to recognize Rotarians doing good in our club. Please nominate your fellow Rotarians who deserve a sincere thank you for their dedication. Whether they've consistently shown up, lent a hand, or gone above and beyond. Simply send their name and a brief description of why you are nominating them to Jim Coleman jcolemanoss72@gmail.com.

These awards are given out at various intervals throughout the year. Whenever you experience Rotarians doing good, please take a moment to nominate them.

 

Our next meeting is Monday July 28th. Need to join by Zoom, click the link below.
