Wow Rotarians!  We’ve started November with a BANG!  What a great presentation from the Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger last week!  Great updates on the goings on around the State and we had a packed house!  Thanks to all the Rotarians who brought guests to hear this great speaker. 

As we gear up for our District Governor’s visit this week, I’m reminded how fortunate we are to live in the beautiful City of Thomasville.  To honor our local heroes who strive daily to keeps the citizens of this city/county safe is always one of my favorite events.  And, to have our own Andre’ Marria, District Governor, join us for this makes it even special.  I’m sure she will remind you all of the time we were putting hamburgers together and I told her she had no future in fast food!  She loves to tell that story and usually does while we’re working!

November market will occur the weekend before Thanksgiving.  What better way to give thanks than to provide food to those who so desperately need it in our community so they too can have a very Happy Thanksgiving.  It warms my heart each time we have our market to pull onto Felix Street where cars line the side of the street, waiting for this important event.  Last month, Angela asked one participant what time he got there.  His response was 5:00!  Our community waits for this every month and we are so fortunate to be able to give back in this manner.

Thank you all, Rotarians, for your continued support as we gear up for what will definitely be a November to be thankful for.
