July 21 Meeting: Club Assembly
Newly
Elected President, Shelley Hammell shares her vision and goals for the coming
Rotary year. Hear from the Treasurer and our various committee chairs on the
exciting things planned for the year and share your feedback in an engaging
table exercise. Remember to RSVP for you and your guests! We love hosting guests at our meetings and want to make sure we have enough food and seats to ensure an amazing experience! RSVP Here: July 21 Meeting Message from the PresidentThank you to
everyone who made our first meeting of the year a great success! I hope you
were as moved as I was hearing Rebecca Guinn speak about the need to do better
and keep people with their pets. I shared some important statistics on the
mental health benefits of owning a pet.
We may not realize
how much our pet gives back from a simple paw on your lap or a nudge for
attention – these are wellness cues that encourage us to pause and reconnect
with the world around us. The mental health benefits are dramatic with
decreases in depression, anxiety, loneliness, and suicides. And pet owners
experience increases in fitness and health by simply walking their dog or
spending time with a purring cat. We have a lot of
opportunities to engage. Please renew your commitment to Buckhead Rotary by
putting service above self and consider one of our upcoming volunteer events.
As you heard, LifeLine Animal Project is our new signature project, and I am
calling on all Buckhead Rotarians to consider volunteering. The orientation
being held on July 24th and then again on August 2nd are great ways to learn
more about LifeLine and our pawsitivity partnership. Even if you cannot attend
the orientation, please come out for our first Thirsty Thursday of the new
Rotary year on July 24th. I can’t wait to see you at these events. Nominate Your Fellow
Rotarians It’s an important
focus for my presidency to recognize Rotarians doing good in our club. Please
nominate your fellow Rotarians who deserve a sincere thank you for their
dedication. Whether they've consistently shown up, lent a hand, or gone above
and beyond. Simply send their name and a brief description of why you are
nominating them to Jim Coleman jcolemanoss72@gmail.com. These awards are
given out at various intervals throughout the year. Whenever you experience
Rotarians doing good, please take a moment to nominate them. Our next meeting is
Monday July 21st. Need to join by Zoom, click the link below.

Big cheers and love
for our amazing Rotary family member Allie Damico Geisler and her new husband,
John The two were married
on May 17th at the breathtaking Atlanta Botanical Garden, surrounded by friends
and family from across the U.S.—and even across the pond! Their love story
continued with a beautiful honeymoon in Jamaica. Allie, your Buckhead
Rotary family couldn’t be happier for you both! Click here to congratulate the happy couple!  Big congratulations
to our very own Buckhead Rotarian, Sara Beth Prendeville, on her incredible
feature in the Atlanta Business Chronicle! As President of
Brown & Company Jewelers, Sara Beth has led the charge in opening one of
only four Patek Philippe boutiques in the entire country—right here in
Buckhead. This milestone marks the culmination of 35 years of determination,
family legacy, and timeless vision. "Being part of the Buckhead Rotary Club
connects me to others who care deeply about Atlanta and inspires me to keep
investing in the city that’s given so much to my family and our business."
We’re proud to have
a trailblazer like Sara Beth in our club! Click here to congratulate Sara Beth!
