🎓 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.
