President's Message
Service Above Self This past weekend a group of service oriented Rotarians got out the heavy equipment at Bulloch Hall for some fence mending and power washing. Thanks for everyone who came out to help with this effort. We will be looking for more volunteers this weekend to grab a brush and roller to paint the fences around the main entrance of this great historical site. Come out if you're able and participate in a Service above Self project on Saturday. Many hands make light work, all for the beautification of this great city! This week you are not going to want to miss our meeting where we will be treated to a great speaker Versonya DuPont of the John Maxwell Group who will deliver an inspirational message on personal development. Come and have some fried chicken and get inspired!!! |

You Have to Know Yourself to Grow Yourself!
You Have to Know Yourself to Grow Yourself!Such a powerful topic this week from a member of the John Maxwell team!. Join us at Rotary on Thursday. Three Takeaways
- Growth starts with
appreciating our distinctiveness and value
- We all are different,
but have predictable behaviors under stress
- Understanding our blind
spots can enhance our personal growth

pay to live on God’s green earth.” She has over 20 years of experience
casting vision and driving execution as an Executive for both start-up and
million-dollar businesses. Her measure of success has always included
awareness of the impact of the work she does on the lives of others, beyond

better!" Versonya is still striving!!!! Her life
is dedicated to empowering others and giving voice to those who can't speak for
themselves. Professionally, she has held the titles of Entrepreneur,
Director of Technology, Project Manager and Educational Technology Specialist.

national, humanitarian organization called Top Ladies of Distinction as well as
through her membership with Victory Church where she serves as a leader with
the Small Group and Missions Ministries. Versonya is also the Founder and
Executive Director of Life Well Lived Charity, Inc, a non-profit whose mission
is to support abundant living through charitable giving and education in the
areas of K-20 education, entrepreneurship and community service, especially to
those who are underserved, distressed or economically disadvantaged.
It has been her goal in each
role to be a servant leader with a standard of excellence for developing the
talent and potential in others. Versonya is a certified Speaker, Coach

Bulloch Hall Clean-Up Part 2
Sat. Feb. 19 10am Bulloch Hall Cleanup Part 2
Headcount Needed ASAP to Matt Millard
Rotarians! We need a head count!!! THIS Saturday
February 19th at 10am we need help painting the fencing at Bulloch
Hall while meanwhile our fearless leader President Terry is taking a chilly dip
in the lake! We had a hardy group of pressure washers who got the fencing
“paint ready” this past Saturday, and now it’s everyone else’s turn to lend a
hand and put a fresh coat of paint on! We have a few hundred feet of
fencing to paint white. We can knock it out in two hours if we get enough volunteers!
Bring yourself, your kids, or even prospective new members–
attire is painting casual! We need to have an idea of numbers so we
can have waivers on hand from the City. Rotary will provide rollers and
brushes, and likely coffee and Doughnuts! City is providing the
paint. We project that we can finish in a couple hours, but we’re
depending on some serious turnout. Please RSVP to Matt Millard at
678.414.6564 with your name and total number of volunteers – see you there! TO SIGN UP: Volunteers please contact Matt Millard at 678.414.6564 ASAP
