President John's Message
When Russia invaded
Ukraine in February, Rotary responded with direct aid to Rotary clubs in
Ukraine, Poland and other countries helping those displaced by war. In
two months, Rotary International raised over $15 million in a disaster relief
appeal. District 6900 put out a call to Rotarians in our district and we
answered. This week Chris Brand with FODAC (Friends of Disabled Adults
& Children) will share an update about the district's efforts to collect
and ship medical supplies and other needed items to hospitals and other groups
in Ukraine as this month’s "Service Moment".
Come hear about this
great effort and let's get ready for some football also. See you
Thursday!
Here Comes Football!
Program August 18: Rennie Curran & Friends: Football and Life Lessons
Also update on local high school football!
Football season is approaching and what a perfect time to have Rennie Curran speak to our club. Rennie is a former UGA linebacker and is now a motivational speaker and business coach. Powerful lessons to be taken from football into life!
“It doesn’t matter where you were born or what you were born into. It doesn’t matter what others expect or tell you to do. At the end of the day, your ability to turn your pain into power will make you unstoppable.”-Rennie Curran Click here for more about Rennie
And More>>> There will be several former NFL players in attendance at lunch PLUS the head football coach from our three high school teams will be there with their team captains to share a few thoughts about the upcoming season.
