Regular Meeting Location UpdateOn Thursday, March 5, regular club meetings will return to the Plaza Restaurant at 12:15 p.m. Jackie Leatherman, president and CEO of Discover Thomasville, will be our guest speaker at our first meeting back at the Plaza. 
As part of the transition, service projects chair Melanie Cromartie has announced a team to strengthen the club’s relationship with the Vashti Center. Third Thursday meetings at Second Harvest to pack produce will continue at 11:30 a.m.
Rotary Youth Exchange Student Ivan UpdateIvan Santoyo – Thomasville's first-ever Rotary Youth Exchange student – has been having a great year in France, and the Landerneau Rotary Club sent us a copy of his latest speech to the host club. Watch it here. 
I may not speak French, but it sure sounds like Ivan does (well)! We can't wait to hear about his French experiences once he returns home at the end of the current academic year – in English, I hope. Thursday, March 5
