4th Annual Johns Creek Patriot Day

The Rotary Club of Johns Creek – North Fulton gathered to remember and reflect upon the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks during a remembrance event held at the Newtown Park Amphitheater. The community was invited to the free event that honored the service and sacrifices of first responders and military personnel at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016.

The event featured keynote address by Lisa Dernovish, vice commander of the Alpharetta American Legion Post #201. The commemoration included patriotic music, a moment of silence and ringing of a memorial bell in honor of the fallen.

The remembrance event featured remarks by Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker and an appearance by Johns Creek Fire and Police departments.

Rotarian Bill Ricks led this annual event for our club. He did a wonderful job involving City officials, local and state government representatives, local first responders, and our community. This has become as signature community event for our club.
