It’s been another busy week for Alpharetta Rotary, whether you worked with Mickey at our Drake Village apartment, served with a Fresh Market run, attended RLI (Rotary Leadership Institute) or joined us at the home of Randy and Casey Schiltz for our 2nd Annual Oyster Roast, there was plenty of service and fellowship. This Thursday plan to attend Rotary After Hours in conjunction with the Alpharetta Business Association (ABA). The fellowship event will be held 5:30-7:00 at Digital Ignition - 190 Bluegrass Valley Parkway. Please let Charlcie know if you plan to attend. See you there!
I don’t know where to begin or how to express my deep appreciation for the love, prayers and support shown to me and my family at the loss of my father last Tuesday the 17th. To experience such a loss, and be surrounded by people who truly care about you, is one of the great blessings in life. Rotary is more than a Club, but an extension of family. We were so appreciative for those who were able to attend the memorial service – that meant so much. Thank you for doing what you do so well for all – I appreciate it now all the more from the perspective of a humbled recipient.
See you Friday…
