Each Thanksgiving week, we have a Cake Auction that supports the commitments to schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, our scholarship programs and other activities we commit to each year.
Every Month, the Rotary Club celebrates our Senior Center residents with a Birthday Cake and singing. About 40 Seniors each month are present and enjoy a special day. A volunteer sponsors each month's cake and ice cream and 4-8 Rotarians are present at any given month. This is a 12 month tradition.
Each year, our club among other community groups, partner with Gordon State College Rotoract to clean up areas of the county that need it. Litter, washing windows, laying pinestraw, painting, minor fixes are all some of the activities taken care of in on day of service.
The Honor Walk is held annually as a way to showcase our First Responders. We provide lunch and parade through downtown with First Responders, their vehicles and Rotarians and ROTC students. This year the parade was cancelled but we held our luncheon with about 75 in attendance.
Quarterly Blood Drives are an important part of our Rotary year. Our goal is 40 units each quarter and many times we exceed these goals. We have won a prestigious Drive of the Year award for our region because of our consistent efforts to attract donorts.
Rotarians volunteer at Atlanta Motor Speedway in order to raise funds for commitments to the Boys & Girls Clubs, Laws of Life and other education related projects each year.
We support the owners' suite with volunteer greeters and servers. The Catering firm gives all the funds they would otherwise pay employees to our Rotary Club. It's also a great way to spread the Rotary image.
