Immediate Past President Jeb wasn't here today so Roy Strickland accepted Foundation recognition banners from DG Mary Ligon. Paulding County Rotary is a 100% Sustaining Member Club with every member gifting at least $100 to the Annual Fund. DG Mary delivered both "Every Rotarian Every Year Club" and "100% Foundation Giving Club" banners.
The Paulding County Rotary contribution towards the USO holiday block leave was greatly appreciated. Combined with other donations from various companies and organizations, we were able to feed approx 8,000 soldiers returning to Fort Benning from holiday leave.
It is great to work with our local non-profits. Yesterday, Brent Wheeling and I were privileged to present a donation to Linda Verscharen with the Family Alliance of Paulding. We thank them for all their hard work and dedication. I speak on behalf of the Rotary Club of Paulding County when I say it is an honor to serve.
November is ‘Rotary Foundation Month’ in 35,000+ Rotary clubs around the world. Paulding County Rotarians celebrated the Rotary Foundation’s good works with a special gathering on November 9, at the Dallas Civic Center. The featured speaker was Chair of The Rotary Foundation Trustees and Past Rotary International President, John Germ, from the Rotary Club of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
