Checks, Costumes, and a Conversation Worth Having
Big month, Buckhead Rotary. Last week we wrote a $2,500 check to Revved Up Kids, putting real dollars behind our commitment to end human trafficking and protect local youth — a direct result of Alli Neal's talk at our October 5 meeting. That's Service Above Self in action.
Mark your calendar: no lunch meeting Monday, October 12 (Columbus Day) — take the day off. But the following Monday is important... that's when your Board meets to discuss a proposed bylaws change opening Director eligibility to members after one year in the Club (plus Red Badge completion), instead of two. It's a meaningful shift in our leadership pipeline, so talk to your Directors and Officers before the vote.
In between, grab a drink at Thirsty Thursday, October 15, at Jim Floyd's house — 5:30 to 7:30, please register in advance : [CLICK HERE TO REGISTER]
Monday, October 19 is also our Celebrating World Polio Day meeting, with Dr. Debra Houry, former CDC Chief Medical Officer — ahead of the real World Polio Day on Saturday, October 24.
Then start hunting for a costume — Glow Chastain hits October 30, our first chance to meet the Horizons Atlanta scholars face to face, and they will get to vote on their favorite Buckhead Rotarian costume: [CLICK HERE TO REGISTER]
Support World Polio Day
Saturday, October 24th
Be a part of history
World Polio Day is a time for Rotary members, public health advocates, and all who want a world free from polio to come together, recognize our progress in the fight to end polio, and talk about the actions we need to take in order to end polio for good. When we eradicate polio worldwide, it will join smallpox as the second human disease ever eradicated.
