President Nancy's Message
Dan Garrett Delivers Hilarious Presentation on Turning the Gold Club into a Church At our recent Rotary meeting, Dan Garrett had the room in stitches with his unforgettable presentation about the transformation of the infamous Gold Club strip club into a functioning church. With his trademark humor and storytelling, Dan recounted how he brought this unique story to life during his talk, detailing the unlikely and humorous journey from nightclub to place of worship. His ability to mix humor with a thought-provoking message made for a fun and engaging presentation, leaving everyone both entertained and inspired by the surprising ways communities can evolve. Stephanie Stuckey to Speak at Next Week’s Meeting We are excited to announce that Stephanie Stuckey, CEO of the iconic Stuckey’s roadside rest stops, will be our guest speaker at next week’s Rotary meeting. Stephanie has been leading the revitalization of the beloved brand, known for its pecan log rolls and classic Americana charm, and will share her journey of taking over the family business. Her leadership has brought new life to Stuckey’s, expanding its offerings and bringing manufacturing back in-house, all while preserving the brand’s legacy. There will be samples of Stucky's world-famous peanut logs( first come first served) as well as opportunities to purchase books and more. Join us to hear Stephanie’s inspiring story of innovation, resilience, and her vision for the future of Stuckey’s as a cornerstone of the American road trip experience. You won’t want to miss it! Stephanie Stuckey to Speak on Thursday! What a treat we have on Thursday! Stephanie Stuckey will be joining us and her presentation is sure to be amazing! Who doesn't know the iconic big red Stuckey's brand or stopped for a pecan log when on a road trip? Good times and memories! Stephanie Stuckey is Chair of Stuckey’s, known as a highway oasis serving up pecan log rolls, rubber alligators, and snow globes to generations of Americans. Founded in 1937 by her grandfather, W.S. Stuckey, Sr. in Eastman, Georgia, Stuckey’s grew into over 350 stores nationwide by its peak in the 1970’s. The company was sold and sadly declined for decades under a series of outside corporate owners. Fortunately, Stuckey’s returned to family hands in 2019 when Stephanie acquired the then-failing brand. In 2020 she joined forces with her business partner, R.G. Lamar, Jr., a pecan farmer from Middle Georgia. [read more] Atlanta United Season Opener |
