Club Attends District Training

On Saturday, about a dozen Thomasville club members attended District Training in Columbus. After a welcome from Columbus mayor Skip Henderson and updates from the district governor and the district governor elect, the team attended workshops about a variety of topics important for planning the 2025-2026 Rotary year.

Workshop topics included:

• Rotary's Action Plan
• Public Image Essentials
• How to Be An Effective Facilitator
• Serving Youth and Young Adults
• Membership and Smart Growth
• Foundation: Community Grants and Global Grants, International Service and PolioPlus
• Managing Volunteers
• AI and Social Media Mastery
• Strategic Planning and Succession Planning

The half-day programming was concise, but set the team up well for success in 2025-26 and beyond. 

Andre Marria, pictured at right, and Fran Milberg (not pictured) were among several past district governors in attendance for the training.
