Rotary Friends,

Douglas Rotary has found a welcoming meeting place in the Alumni House at South Georgia State College. Lunch on Thursday, September 3, 2026 will be catered by Claire Elliott and the staff of the Magnolia Cafe and Tea Room. We'll enjoy an outstanding program presented by Alison Bailey Adcock, who is a teacher of students with visual impairments and a certified orientation and mobility specialist. One of her students plans to assist her. Alison is a longtime family friend with a joyful spirit and a dedication to service.

This week we will welcome Lee Mobley to Rotary. He is one of several outstanding community members becoming Rotarians this Fall. We are so grateful for what this means for our capacity to serve. Consider friends and colleagues who can help us grow and develop.

Rotary International recently set a membership goal of 1.25 million members by July 2030, the 125th year of Rotary International. This represents an annual growth rate of about 2%. We are committed to help make this happen.

All the best,

Jim Cottingham

We are pleased to share that together, we raised more than US$477 million (unaudited) in gifts and commitments during 2025-26.

These gifts empower Rotary members to carry out sustainable projects that improve people’s health, expand access to education, protect the environment, alleviate poverty, and promote peace around the globe.

Thanks to the collective efforts of Rotary members, leaders, and supporters, our Foundation was able to:
Award 1,804 global grants, 463 district grants, and 61 disaster response grants in 2025-26
Work with our partners to vaccinate more than 350 million children in 28 countries during 2025
Open our newest Rotary Peace Center at Symbiosis International University in India
These achievements are possible because of people like you who champion Rotary’s mission through leadership, service, advocacy, and generosity.

Regional and district-level fundraising reports will be shared soon, and audited financial results will follow in the coming months. Thank you for all you do to support our Foundation and help Rotary create opportunities, strengthen communities, and advance lasting change.

Together, we are Doing Good in the World.


Sincerely,

Upcoming Thursday, August 27, 2026 Douglas Rotary Meeting

Rotary Friends,

We will meet with the Douglas-Coffee Chamber of Commerce at the Golf Club this Thursday. The Chamber provides great presentations and updates each month on community events, opportunities, and challenges. I hope you can attend and connect with other community members who are committed to making a positive impact.

If this is your first time attending, here's the drill. After entering the door near the parking lot, please tell the staff at the register you are with Rotary. The Rotary Club picks up the tab for members and invited guests.

On September 3rd we will be back at the SGSC Alumni House. We will have the honor of inducting a new member, (the 1st of several who are embracing Rotary!), we'll enjoy a presentation by Alison Bailey Adcock who offers services to visually impaired children and youth, and we will enjoy a meal catered by Claire Maley and the crew of the Magnolia Cafe and Tea Room.

Consider inviting a guest to Rotary. There is so much more we can do as we increase our capacity for service.

All the best,

Jim Cottingham, President
