No Tricks, Just Treats

Good news: Richard Harker, President and CEO of the Historic Oakland Foundation, is doing well. His car was totaled on Monday morning just before our meeting, but he walked away without a scratch. It turns out even the head of Oakland Cemetery isn’t ready to become a permanent resident. He invites everyone to check out Oakland Cemetery’s Halloween tours next year.

Monday’s Pink Out turned the room into a sea of pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Thank you for showing up in color, it was an impressive display - especially Miriam's high heels! Special thanks to Liz Loretti, who stepped up on the spot to share powerful insights on the issue and about her organization, IRIS.

This Halloween, my biggest fear is an empty ballot box. Early voting is still open this week, and Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.  Please do your research then get out there and VOTE (https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/)

Friday is Glow Chastain starting at 5pm at the C…, and costumes are a must. Bring a bag of candy to hand out and brace yourself: our Horizons Atlanta scholars will judge us at our booth, and they show no mercy. Best costume wins a $100 gift certificate to Valenza. Better yet, you’ll meet the kids your Rotary Club is supporting. Dignity is optional. Showing up with a great costume is not.

Then, on Sunday, Nov. 1, we cheer on Atlanta United against Toronto at 4:30 p.m. Tickets went out electronically this week. If yours vanished like a ghost, email Allie Geisler at alliegeisler@td.com.

Happy Halloween!  Looking forward to seeing you Friday, in costume!
