A big thank you to all of the members who participated in the USO event last week. We had an excellent turnout Tuesday afternoon and assembled 400+ bagged lunches! On Wednesday, several members assisted in passing out lunches to troops returning from holiday leave to Fort Gordon or Fort Benning to complete their training. While Rotary’s shift ran from 10 – 2, the entire program ran from 6 am to midnight, and all together, approx. 10,000 soldiers came through Hartsfield-Jackson. Thank you to the board for continuing to support such a worthy cause.
The Paulding Rotary Club has several long-standing traditions when it comes to providing for the local community. One such tradition is our annual senior cookout, which might possibly be the longest-running annual activity to date. Club members always have a good time grilling the hamburgers and hot dogs for our seniors.
The Rotary Club of Paulding hosted the 11th annual Pigskin Preview on August 9 at the Dallas Civic Center. The Club appreciates the City of Dallas hosting us every year. The Club received an update from the head coaches from each of the five high schools. The coaches each brought three of their star players, all of which excel academically as well as athletically.
