At each Rotary meeting we are given the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. This can be done at the in-person meeting or the online Zoom meeting. A simple smile or word can make that difference. We had a total of sixty-five in attendance last week, including several guests. Rick Christenson our newest member was inducted into the club by Fran Milberg. Congratulations Rick and welcome to the Rotary Club of Thomasville. As we are reminded at each meeting, “Rotary Opens Opportunities.”
We still have several members who are working through health challenges. Gerhard Sommer has had a stroke and Susize Shin has tested positivie for COVID. Please keep them in our prayers and thoughts.
Mary Beth Donalson introduced our Academic Students of the month. De’Asia Daniels represented Thomas County Central High School and Abi White represented Thomasville High School. Thanks Mary Beth.
We also had club officers for the Rotary year 2021-2022 announced. Looks like we have another great team to lead our club. A hearty congratulations goes out to each of the new officers.
The week’s Program was Trish Land. Trish grew up in Albany and is based in Atlanta. She is an artist but started out as a dancer. She is painting roses in celebration of the 100th Rose Show. Not only has Trish traveled to several foreign countries, she has lived in some of them. Three of those countries are France, Germany and Japan. Thomasville is fortunate to have Trish as the artist who will help us celebrate the centennial of the Rose Show. Thanks Trish.
