As the Membership Committee plans the rest of this Rotary year, we need support in a few areas. If you are interested in supporting any of these areas, please contact Angela Williamson.

Membership includes sub-committees for We Care, Greeters, Coffee Chats, Wine or Whine, and more, and it takes all the club’s members to support these initiatives and ensure that all our members feel seen, heard and appreciated for the efforts they bring to Rotary Club of Thomasville.

We Care provides cards to members who are ill, have lost a family member or simply need a little sunshine. We Care team members announce updates for those Rotarians who receive cards.

Team leads are Mary Beth (January), Copper (February), Janet (March), and Angela (April). We are looking for a team member to lead We Care for May and for June.

Greeters welcome members and guests as they enter weekly Rotary Club meetings, track attendance and help answer questions that may arise.

Team leads are Stephan (January), Jeff (February), Rich (March) and Angela (May). We are looking for greeters for April and June.

Coffee Chats are generally on the third Wednesday of every month at Grassroots Coffee and present an opportunity to fellowship with fellow Rotarians in a casual, unstructured environment. Grab a cup of coffee and say hello or order breakfast and sit and stay for a while. Coffee Chats are hosted by Morgan Bailey and at least one member of the membership committee.

Team leads are Angela (Jan. 15), Anna (Feb. 19 and March 19). We are looking for coffee enthusiasts to join Morgan as hosts for April 16, May 21 and June 18.

Wine or Whine is monthly on the first Thursday of the month and represents another opportunity for casual gatherings to get to know your fellow Rotarians and bring potential new members.  Our next Wine or Whine will be Feb. 6 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Plaza.

We are looking for a variety of hosts and sites for Wine or Whine.

New Members: Additionally, we are always looking for potential Rotarians who would add to the depth of our membership and who have a drive to support the community through our community service work. Our district goal this year is to net three new members, but we like to be overachievers, so we’d love to add additional new members before the end of June.

For more information, to suggest a new member, or to sign up for any of these support initiatives, please contact Angela Williamson.

Save the Date for the next Fireside Chat: Tuesday, April 1, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Gentian Creek Preserve Barn.
