July was an exciting kick off to the new Rotary year, especially for recognizing our fellow Rotarians.

Congratulation to all our new Paul Harris Fellows!

A special congratulations to Jim Floyd and Ben Shapiro for becoming Paul Harris Major Donors. 

I wanted to take a moment to once again, Thanks "a Latte" to our July honorees; Drew Amerson, Michael Stimpert and Marilyn Morgan. And a special shout out to Kari Kirkley for winning the special GOAT award for all her efforts with RYE and LifeLine. 

My Rotary, My Way. We have great attendance at our Monday meetings. Let’s turn up the volume on our signature projects and socials too. We have so many ways to get connected and stay connected to Buckhead Rotary and our mission. Check out the August calendar and sign up for one of our many events. I hope to see more of you at one of these events. I hate for you to suffer from FOMR, Fear of Missing Rotary!
