Last Week in Pictures

Last week was a busy week for the Rotary Club of Thomasville, anchored by a reception for District Governor Gordon Owens on Thursday, and Rotarians Have Heart for Seniors at the Scott Senior Center on Friday.

Photo highlights of both events - and more! - are available on Facebook (linked above) and Instagram. Follow us on your favorite platform and engage with our posts to help grow our social channels in our community. Growing our social channels helps inform the community about Rotary's activities and may help encourage club growth. 

Thursday, Feb. 20
Pack & Sort

The club meeting on Thursday, Feb. 20 will begin at 11:30 a.m. at Second Harvest Food Bank. We will pack produce boxes for distribution at Weston Park on Saturday, Feb. 22.


Saturday, Feb. 22
Produce Market at Weston Park

Rotary will host its monthly produce distribution at Weston Park on Saturday, Feb. 22. Set up begins at 7:30 a.m. Food distribution begins at or before 8:30 a.m. and is finished when all the produce is distributed, usually around 10 a.m.

This is one of our local Rotary Club's Big Impact Projects to help make fresh vegetables and fruits available to all. We partner with the Marguerite Neel Williams Boys & Girls Club, Envision Credit Union and Thomasville National Bank to sponsor these monthly events, but we need Rotarians to volunteer their time to help with the distributions. Please come.

New Member Spotlight
Welcome Chris Kerr

Chris Kerr, his wife Casey and their 2-year-old daughter, Rooney, moved to the area to manage Longleaf Ridge Farm, a Mitchell County farm that has been in Casey’s family for six generations, growing peanuts, corn, soybeans and timber. When time allows, they love to walk the fields and along the banks of the Flint River, looking for colonial and native American artifacts.

Chris and Casey met through Leadership Georgia where their spirits for service led them to volunteer together as program chairs.  They have recently purchased a home in Thomasville so they can be close to where Rooney will attend preschool.  Prior to coming to our area, the family were residents of Rome, Ga., where Chris was vice president of Hardy Realty and Development. A third-generation Rotarian, Chris was a member of the Rome chapter for nine years and is a past president as well as a Paul Harris and Will Watt Fellow.

A graduate of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1996, he then spent a year in Norway through a scholarship from the Norwegian Rotary Advisory Board and GRSP. He later earned his master’s degree from the Annenberg School at University of Southern California.

Chris has previously worked in New York and Los Angeles with responsibilities in strategy, operations and business development. Some of the companies he was an integral part of were Paramount Pictures, MTV Networks, HULU and onefinestay. 

I think we can all agree how fortunate we are to have Chris, Casey and Rooney! Please join me in welcoming them to Thomasville and our Rotary family.
