DISTRICT NEWSLETTER COVERAGE

Read the latest message “It’s Time To Soar Like The Eagle”  from our District Governor and very own, Andre’ Marria. To view the story, click HERE.

Our very own, Teri Hurst White, was featured in the District Newsletter for being honored as the first Frank Bentley, Sr. Fellow! To view the District newsletter for February and read the full article, click HERE. P.S. Did you know Teri also serves on the GRSP Foundation Board as the Foundation Director?!  Teri is pictured with GRSP Foundation President and Chair Emeritus Jim Drake, Rotary Club of Savannah South, GRSP Financial Advisor Frank Bentley, Jr., Rotary Club of Sandy Springs and GRSP Chair Mike Sweigart, Rotary Club of Duluth.

The RLI Sunshine Division thanked our Rotary Club of Thomasville (and especially PE Marta Turner) for our hospitality and assistance in making RLI a success on January 13, 2024.  Great job! To view the full story, click HERE.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE 3/21-24/2024

Have you registered for District Conference, March 21-24, 2024?! Early birds get special rates!  Join us as we Amplify Rotary and feature the Lady with a Song, none other than our District Governor André Marria at the beautiful Jekyll Island Convention Center. Several hotels on the island have room blocks reserved through February 21, 2024. Jekyll Island is booming, so you are encouraged to book your hotel room NOW! Once our room blocks are sold there is no guarantee that additional room nights will be added. For more information on registration, room blocks, and the conference in general, click HERE.

As Will Felts said in a recent weekly meeting, there are meetings to attend but really it’s more like a spring break for adults…PLUS: we all need to support our District Governor and club member, Andre’ Marria!  For even more details from this past District Newsletter, check out the story and links.  Click HERE.
