Projects
Back to School Supplies
Rotarians met at Lee Street Elementary School to pack supplies that were given out to returning students at a "Back to School" event that was held in Lee Street Park.
Battered women's shelter
Sorted donated clothes for the battered women at the shelter.
As donations come into the Shelter, they are stored. The clothes need to be sorted before they can be distributed to the ladies. Our Club volunteers sort the clothing so that the ladies can enjoy their "new" clothes.
Blankets to the homeless
A group of Rotarians handed our blankets to the homeless on January 30th. More blankets are being ordered and paid for by Rotarians.
When they arrive we will go back out and deliver more blankets.
Georgia Rotary Student Weekend
The Georgia Rotary Student Program (GRSP) students gathered for the 2022 Maynard Knestrick Memorial Weekend in Clayton County September 9-11, 2022.
Forty international students spent time with their weekend hosts on Friday and on Saturday they played at Spivey Splash. The Water Park, lazy river, slides, ping pong tables, board games, and volleyball were followed by karaoke that night.
Giving Side of Christmas
The Kinship Care children will GIVE presents this year. The children actually get to shop for gifts
for others. The idea was the brainchild of former President, Tom Mertl. He noticed the children were receiving gifts but did not have the opportunity of experiencing the "joy of giving". He started the “Giving Side of Christmas” and the event has been a huge success and had been bringing joy for 15 years.
Hearts to Nourish Hope
Rotarians assisted volunteers in loading vehicles with food supplies for needy/underserved individuals and families.
Rotary has Heart for Seniors- Valentine's Day
Our Club put together bags filled with Valentine's Day candy and goodies. Each bag had a different Valentine's Day saying and a drawing on it. The project was on Valentine's Day. The residents were handed the bags and volunteers spent some time with each resident.
