🎓 Rotary Speaker Highlight

Today, we had the privilege of hearing from Dr. Don Green, President of Gordon State College, who shared updates on the many exciting things happening at the college and reflected on his time in Barnesville as he prepares to begin a new chapter.

During his tenure, Dr. Green worked to strengthen Gordon State College’s connection to the community, support student success, and foster partnerships that have benefited Barnesville and Lamar County. Though his time here was relatively brief, his leadership and commitment to both the college and the community have left a meaningful impact.

As a fellow Rotarian, Dr. Green has been a valued member of our club, and we are grateful for the support, insight, and leadership he has shared with us over the past several years.

We also had the pleasure of inducting two new Rotary members:

🔹 Richard Newbern, Barnesville City Manager
🔹 Summer Fletcher, Industrial Development Authority

Please join us in welcoming Richard and Summer to the Rotary family. We look forward to their service and involvement in our community.

Thank you, Dr. Green, for your dedication to Gordon State College, Rotary, and Barnesville. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

At Rotary this week, we recognized the students who participated and placed in the Georgia Laws of Life Essay Program, a program of Rotary International.

We would especially like to congratulate Jordan Anderson, the overall school winner, who had the opportunity to share his essay with the club. His essay was thoughtful, inspiring, and a wonderful reflection of the values and character this program promotes.

We are proud of all the students who participated and thankful for the continued support of programs that encourage integrity, leadership, and personal growth in our youth.
