With the Rotary Club of Thomasville now full grown, at the grand old age of 100, we can look backward to where we have come from, and look forward to where we are going. Debbie Goodman took us back to something we did quite well over the past year. For the Georgia Rotary Student Program (GRSP), we surpassed our goal by 20%. We all agree, it was a di*cult year. But as the lyrics from one song say, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”
In addition to the club’s generous GRSP giving over the last year, several Rotarians received recognition for donations that moved them to another level. We had a total of nineteen awards for the year. Ten of these were presented at last week’s meeting. Great job fellow Rotarians.
There were two students form Thomas County Central High School recognized as students of the month. The Technology Student of the Month was Daniel Brock. He will be attending Valdosta State University to study Drafting Design. The Academic Student of the Month was Bradley Deckman, and he is attending Kennesaw State University to study Orthotic Training.
There are several members we want to keep in our thoughts and prayers. John Archer is home from the hospital. John Glenn will be leaving the hospital and going to Camellia Gardens. Susan O’Neal lost her mother last week. There may be others I’m not aware of.
