Special Thanks to our Rotary International President for Speaking to Our Club Last Week!

Last week we had the current President of Rotary International, Mark Maloney, on our Zoom call.  Zoom technology allowed the President of the whole world of Rotary right into our Thomasville Rotary Club meeting!!!   He was very down to earth and gave us a behind the scenes peek into what it was like hosting meetings for the RI President.  He also talked about membership retention being the most important thing during the pandemic and that the members we aren't seeing are the most important members to follow up with and reconnect.  He also hearkened us to remember that Paul Harris set up Rotary to be a networking club and we needed to be sure and connect with all of our membership.  He said that he was very proud of Rotarians for adapting during the pandemic.

We Resume Meeting at the PLAZA this Week!!!! Join us for the Year in Review and Awards. Please RSVP for the Plated Lunch.

Our meeting will cover our Year in Review and will include awards and honors.  We have much to celebrate this year!!!  We went to the District Celebration and our Club won many awards!  We also will be giving out all the awards to our Rotarians for their Foundation giving.  We have such an amazing group of Rotarian's who volunteer their time, talent and treasure each year to benefit our Club, Community and the World!  We have the best members Ever!
