Message from the President: 9.19.25

The energy in our meetings stands out, and our guests are noticing! They often comment on the high-energy atmosphere, and it's a direct reflection of your passion and commitment to Buckhead Rotary. Let's harness that power! Think about the guests you would like to share this with. A colleague, friend, client, or prospect who could benefit from the incredible speakers they won't find anywhere else. Our upcoming speakers are executives from a wide range of companies including the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Peach Bowl, Elf on the Shelf (it’s never too early to think about the holidays), Porche Cars North America and so much more. 

On that note, we have some fantastic events on the horizon that need your unique talents and participation to make them a success. Your involvement is key to keeping our momentum going. Let's continue to build on this success and show our newest members what it means to be part of such a dynamic and thriving Rotary club. 

Check out the Club Calendar here for upcoming events!

September 27: Healthy Pet Event RSVP Today!

Come out and support our Pawsitivity Partnership with LifeLine's Healthy Pet event. There will be 1,500+ pets and their people in attendance. This event provides the much-needed vaccinations for dogs and cats as well as chipping and vouchers for spaying and neutering. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to engage with the animals as you help direct people, check them in, and assist with paperwork. Come for an hour or stay for the entire time. Families and children of all ages are welcome to attend. LifeLine provides breakfast and coffee plus lunch for all staff, volunteers, and event attendees. But you must sign up on the calendar if you want to volunteer.

Bark-A-Que and Pet Adoption Event!

RSVP Here: https://www.buckheadrotary.org/reservation/create?event=8572

You’d be barking mad to miss out on our annual fall event.  This year, we're changing things up a bit.  Instead of our traditional shrimp boil, we're serving up some bark-a-cue, well that’s barbecue for us humans of course!  Your whole family is welcome, and yes, that includes your four-legged friends!  We'll have a frisbee contest and plenty of other fun and games.  Because this event is catered, you must sign up on the calendar so we can make sure there's enough food for everyone. Don't be a copy-cat; get your spot now!  Hope to see you there!
