Think Pink on October 20
No Meeting on Monday, October 13
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I wanted to invite all members to join in showing support by wearing pink to our Monday, October 20th meeting. This can be a jacket, tie, dress, or even a splash of jewelry. Together, let’s support this important cause. To highlight this theme, we will hear from one of our newest members, Liz Loretti, Executive Director of TurningPoint Breast Cancer Rehabilitation, who will be delivering her Sunshine Presentation. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn more about Liz while also honoring a cause that touches so many lives.
Pawsitively Making an Impact
A dedicated group of Buckhead Rotarians showed up this past weekend to support LifeLine’s Healthy Pet Event at Wade Walker Park. We helped people in the “happy dog” line complete their paperwork so their pets could receive much-needed veterinary care, completely free of charge. Nearly 1,300 pets and their people were seen by onsite veterinarians for services including:
625 Microchips
789 Distemper Vaccines
349 FVRCP Vaccines
1040 Rabies Vaccines
831 Spay Neutering Vouchers
This was a huge success with 160 volunteers and Buckhead Rotary was proud to be part of it. Thank you to Kari Kirkley, Jeff Clarke, Kathy Finn, Bill Gentner, Garth Peterson and Joe Hammell for your time, energy, and compassion in supporting this important community project. I am proud to share, Buckhead Rotary will be sponsoring the spring event, and we hope to see even more Rotarians join us to help us make a difference.
Volunteer Opportunity! October 18, Open Hand + Lifeline!
Pawsitivity Partnership with Buckhead Rotarians Delivering Pet Food with OpenHand AND OpenHand Tours Reservation
October 18, 2025 10:00 am— 12:00 pm
RSVP HERE
Lend a paw (or a hand) through our Pawsitivity Partnership bringing together Buckhead Rotarians supporting LifeLine's mission to keep pets with their people. We are delivering pet food to those in need. We will meet at OpenHand for an orientation and optional tour and then each carload will hit the road to help our furry friends and their people. A tour of Open Hand's new facility will be offered to all volunteers who are interested. That tour is also available to all Buckhead Rotarians and their guests who register as "Tour Only." Children and families are welcome. Coffee and Good Measure breads will be available for everyone and for purchase (100% of sales go to funding OpenHand meals)!
And if this didn't sound like a reason to get out on a Saturday, we will be meeting afterwards at 12:00 pm at the Bold Monk for lunch and/or a beer (sorry, you will need to pay for your own food and beverages). Even if you aren't coming to deliver meals, meet your fellow Buckhead Rotarians and their guests for some Saturday cheer.
Open Hand, 1380 West Marietta St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
