Finishing Out December Strong
President Alex's Message


Fellow Rotarians-

It is hard to believe that 2023 is nearly over and that my term is half over as is that of our incredible Board. We are so proud of this Club, all that it has accomplished, and all that it will do.

As a reminder, we are continuing our tradition of caroling on Canton this Wednesday and Thursday is our final meeting of the year. I encourage everyone to continue attending our Christmas Market up to and through Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Alex

State Capital Tour with GA State Sen. John Albers


A special note from Senator John Albers

The Georgia Capitol is a beautiful, historic building downtown decorated for Christmas. I would love to provide a personal tour for you and your family (kids and friends are very welcome). There is typically no school, and many people are vacationing this Tuesday, 12/19.  This is an annual event, and everyone has a great time.

 We will be taking and providing pictures of you and your family/team in front of the tree in the rotunda of the Capitol.  I hope you can join us.  Come early and enjoy coffee, cocoa, and cookies in my office at the Capitol.  If you arrive on time, meet us any time before 2:00 pm in the rotunda at the big Christmas tree.  

If you have not already, please RSVP for the logistics and headcount to Senator John Albers john@senatoralbers.com

Tuesday, 12/19 @ 2:00 pm - Georgia State Capitol
