FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynn Dunn and all news should be directed to her at lynn.dunn@rmcpa.com

President's Message
Talk About Rotary Connecting The World

We collected supplies from our club & Interact clubs, community members kicked in donations, the guys from FODAC are helping us get our donations to Florida and Ed Klaas's network is going to use a barge to take the supplies directly to the islands that need it the most in the Bahamas. This is another great example of Rotary connecting the world. Thanks to all who helped make this happen!

This Week's Speaker
​Kaitlin Goode, Urban Wildlife Management

Kaitlin Goode is the Program Manager for GA DNR’s new Urban Wildlife Program. Kaitlin will be presenting on urban wildlife and the unique management challenges working in the metro Atlanta area present. The presentation will include biological and behavioral information about why wildlife does what it does in metro Atlanta, different ways to resolve conflicts in your community and ways to prevent the conflict before it starts.

Rotary Collection October 24
Jackets & Coats Needed For NFCC

The weather is cooling down and NFCC is collecting coats to be ready to help those in need stay warm this winter. Bring your gently used coats and jackets to our meeting and June Brown will get them to NFCC. See June for more details or to make a donation to this worth while cause.

Costume Contest

Our club meeting falls on Halloween this year and we have some spooky fun planned. Our Interact Clubs will be with us to kick off the year, so come dressed up to compete in a club costume contest, help us provide treats to the students and hear ghost stories from Roswell Ghost Tours. The kids will love this and we might have a little fun too!

GRSP Weekend Host Families Needed

The North Fulton Rotary Clubs are hosting a GRSP weekend and looking for volunteers to host students. This is a great way to meet some awesome kids from around the world. Hosting starts by picking your group up in Alpharetta on Friday evening and ends by dropping them off on Sunday morning to head back to school. In between you feed them breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings and join the whole group (including your family) for dinner on Saturday night. If you are interested in hosting, please contact Alex Kaufman at (404) 964-5587.
