President Alex's Message
Fellow Rotarians: Happy Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) to those who celebrate!
I hope that everyone has recovered from our outstanding Golf/Tennis/Pickle Ball Tournament. We are now turning our attention to our Veterans Projects- including our November 10th Multi-Club initiative to take our veterans to Fort Moore (aka Fort Benning) as well as our Basketball Veterans Fundraiser and corroboration with Safe America and Post 201 for Veterans Day on November 11th. I hope you can attend this week's meeting with Georgia State Representative Scott Hilton who serves as the Vice Chairman of the General Assembly's Education Committee and represents the eastern part of our City.
