Celebrating New Members

Celebration time! Get to know our newest members at this week's meeting while we celebrate them with great fun, food and fellowship.

We'll also share a bit of the history and tradition of the club. As we celebrate our 103rd year, our club's focus on doing good in our community continues to mirror that of our early years. There will be photos (like below) and stories from our club archives that all members, new and long-time, should enjoy.

Kelli has lived in Thomasville for 11 years, and spends her free time cooking, reading and traveling the world. Learn how she landed in Thomasville and more about what she does in the community during her program.

Magic Kumquat Productions

Our program on Thursday, Sept. 12 will be presented by Laura Albritton and Zickie Allgrove, documentary storytellers behind Magic Kumquat Productions.

Magic Kumquat Productions creates documentary films with stories that engage, inspire and move viewers. The productions are dynamic and curiosity-driven, focusing on the natural world and remarkable individuals. Learn more about the duo and their films during our meeting.


Follow-up
Rotary-United Way Golf Tournament

Did you miss the Rotary Club of Thomasville and United Way Golf Classic on Saturday? If you did, you missed a great event, great weather, and great fundraising opportunity for Rotary and the Thomasville-Thomas County United Way.

Check out our Facebook page for more photos from the event, and we'll have a wrap up about how much money we raised at an upcoming meeting.

If you want to help plan ahead for next year's tournament, there is a wrap-up meeting for 2024 following Thursday's Rotary meeting. Please plan to attend.
