🌾 This Week with Barnesville Rotary

The Barnesville Rotary Club was pleased to welcome Ivy Booker, a Lamar County native and fourth-generation farmer who helps her family operate Walters Farms right here in Lamar County.

Ivy shared the history of the family farm, what they’re producing today, and where you can purchase Walters Farms beef locally. She also spoke about her family’s tradition of military service, including her own service, and how those experiences and values have influenced the way their family has operated the farm through the years.

Thank you, Ivy, for sharing a little piece of Lamar County’s agricultural history with us! 🚜🐄🇺🇸

🎂 Rotary was also out serving our community last week!

Members stopped by Gordon College to serve cake and ice cream to our Lamar County seniors celebrating September birthdays. We always enjoy the opportunity to spend time with our seniors and help make their birthday celebrations a little sweeter! 🍰🍦❤️

📚 Rotary Speaker Highlight

Today, we were pleased to welcome Kathryn Green with Ferst Readers of Lamar County as our Rotary speaker!

Kathryn shared the impact Ferst Readers continues to have in our community and spoke about just how important early childhood literacy is in building the foundation for a child’s future education and success.

She also encouraged our Rotary members to help spread the word so more local families can take advantage of this wonderful program.

📖 Ferst Readers is FREE and available to ALL children ages 0–5 in Lamar County, regardless of family income.

Helping a child develop a love of books and reading from the very beginning can make a difference that lasts far beyond those first five years. ❤️

Thank you, Kathryn, for joining us today and for the work Ferst Readers does for the children and families of Lamar County!

🏈 Rotary Speaker Highlight

This week, the Rotary Club of Barnesville welcomed Lamar County High School Head Football Coach Travis Ellington as our guest speaker.

Coach Ellington gave members a look ahead at the Lamar County Trojans’ upcoming football season, including several anticipated matchups with local rivals.

He also spoke about the importance of student-athlete safety, the protocols his staff follows to protect players, and the emphasis the coaching staff places on developing character alongside athletic ability.

For Coach Ellington and his staff, success is about more than what happens on Friday nights. It is also about helping young athletes grow into disciplined, responsible young men who represent their school and community well.

Thank you, Coach Ellington, for joining us and for your commitment to the student-athletes of Lamar County High School.

❤️💙 Best of luck to the Trojans this season! Go Trojans! 🏈
