The Rotary Board’s review of the Thomasville Club’s financial report indicates several outstanding quarterly balances. Please review your latest invoice and ensure that payment is submitted by the end of the quarter.
Please be advised that delinquent dues will result in a termination notification. If you have any questions regarding your account, please contact Warren Ballard (229-977-1856) or Teri White (229-221-3935).
As we look toward the next Rotary year, we want to ensure our club’s energy and resources are focused where they matter most – both for our community and for you.
Our club supports more than 20 different service projects. To make sure we aren’t spread too thin and that we’re still tackling the most relevant needs, we are conducting a brief Spring 2026 Member Survey.
Your feedback will help the board decide:
We are also asking for your input in our operations, membership, and engagement, as well as your personal experiences. And finally, we are looking for your great ideas to enhance the public perception of our 105-year-old club.
Your responses to this survey will remain anonymous. Please respond by Thursday, May 7.
Thanks,
Joseph A. Tarver
President Elect 26/27
Rotary Club of Thomasville
In anticipation for next year’s programs under President Joe Tarver, the incoming Program Committee would like to add what we hope will be an entertaining element called “Name That Rotarian.” During this part of the programs, our Club Members can attempt to guess the identities of other Members by seeing early photos along with some fun facts about them.
We are asking everyone to participate by providing any of the following: baby photos, elementary or high school photos, military photos, etc., as well as the completed questionnaire.
Please know we are preparing for next year and attempting to respond to some of the things we are hearing you would like to see in programming.
Please forward all photos to Anna Lee either in person or via email at ansav123@msn.com.
Thank you,
Anna Lee
