President Alex's Message
Fellow Rotarians- What a week!
Thank you for all of those that came to say goodbye to our friend and past President, Maurice Hilliard.
We welcomed Past President (2020-2021), Rotary Club of Guindy, India. Sharath brought a flag for us to swap.
We had a successful consolidation and move of our storage facility as well as Bulloch Hall decoration for our Christmas Market. Thank you to all who volunteered this weekend.
These are our most important days for our veterans initiatives. Please join us and volunteer for our Adopt a Platoon, Ft Benning Bus Trip, and Veterans Basketball Fundraiser.
Thank you,
- Alex

After Hours Celebrates Friendsgiving
