Join The Fight Against Human Trafficking
The Rotary Club of Alpharetta is filled with people of action. We know that Metro-Atlanta is a major human trafficking hub. Now, we are asking YOU to do something about it!
Our Club is part of The Atlanta Rotary Council Against Human Trafficking. We have partnered with the International Human Trafficking Institute (IHTI), the Rotary Action Group Against Slavery (RAGAS), and Human Traffic Proof GA.
January is “End Human Trafficking” month.
IHTI is offering two virtual training events multiple times to Rotarians in January.
Human Trafficking: Learn, See, and Do Something
Human Trafficking: Protecting our Children Online
If you are interested or want to learn more, please open the attached brochure and sign up. Contact Paul Ray, Katie Rocco, or David Cochran if you are ready to take action!
Stay tuned for more ways you can help end this plague on our society.

Rotary International Convention in Taipei, Taiwan - June 12-16. 2021
Rotary is currently moving forward with plans for the international convention in Taipei Taiwan June 12-16, 2021. In order to enhance the fun of being together as a district, we have reserved a room block at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Taipei. If you are planning to attend the convention and wish to participate in the room block, please email me by August 14th. Because we have room minimums and deadlines on adjusting the number of rooms for the group, a one night's room and tax deposit will be due to the district no later than September 18th. And another night's room and tax deposit will be due to the district by December 1st.
I recognize there is some uncertainty about making travel plans due to COVID. If you are interested in attending the convention but unsure about committing to the room block, please still contact me so I can assemble a list and know who to keep informed about district plans. Registration for the convention is your responsibility. Mary Ligon, District Governor-Elect

Rotary District 6900 – Feed The Hungry In The Time of Corona Virus
07/01/2020-06/30/2021 https://rotary6900.org/project/4448
The novel coronavirus pandemic has left corporate kitchens dormant or grossly underutilized while growing unemployment is driving the city’s food insecurity numbers to unprecedented levels. Feeding America and The Atlanta Community Food Bank estimate that 16% of people in the 29-county service area of the Food Bank will be food insecure this summer. And, with school out for the summer, 26% of children, 1 in 4, could go hungry.
To address this staggering divide, The Atlanta Community Food Bank and Second Helpings Atlanta have joined forces to launch the Atlanta Community Kitchen Project. This first-ever public/private partnership in the region connects hunger relief agencies with commercial kitchens with a goal to provide five hundred thousand meals to Atlanta families in need this summer. And this unprecedented initiative is being funded in large part by the city’s top corporate leaders who comprise the Atlanta Rotary Club.
