Henry County Rotary

Rotary Members: Reminder of today's meeting (8/31/26), at KirbyG's Diner at noon.

Please help us welcome Falesha Reynolds, Director of Social Work Services for the Henry County Board of Education!

Today, Falesha will enlighten us on McKinney-Vento and provide an important update on students within our school system who are experiencing homelessness.

She’ll help us better understand the challenges these students and their families face, the resources and support available to them, and the ways our community can come alongside them.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn more about this important issue and how we can help make a difference for children right here in our community.

Sometimes the most powerful gift isn’t money. It’s mobility. It’s relief. It’s hope.

Henry County Rotary Club is proud to partner with FODAC in supporting medical equipment donations that make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.

A wheelchair, a walker, a hospital bed, a simple piece of equipment, these aren’t just items. They’re lifelines.

This is what community looks like when people show up for one another.�This is what service above self looks like in action.
�And this is why Rotary matters.
To everyone helping make this work possible, thank you for choosing compassion, generosity, and action.

What happens when service meets compassion?

Real impact. Real people. Real hope.
On Saturday, Our Henry County Rotary Club joined forces with FODAC to help get medical equipment into the hands of people who need it most.

What may look like a simple donation is often something much bigger, a way to restore dignity, independence, and comfort to a family facing a hard season.

That’s the heart of Service Above Self. That’s what it means to be People of Action.
And that’s the kind of community we’re building together in Henry County.

When we come together, we don’t just give things away. We give people a chance to keep moving forward.

Looking to make plans for Saturday? Join us for a very important service project which brings over $1,000,000 worth of life-changing medical equipment directly into the hands of local adults, children, and veterans who need it most.

Not every meeting has to feel serious to make a serious impact.

At Henry County Rotary, we are all business when it comes to serving our community, building connections, and making a difference where it matters most. But what makes our club truly special is this: we know that purpose and joy can go hand in hand.

That’s where our Membership Moments comes in. It brings the fun. It creates laughter, connection, and those memorable moments that remind us why belonging matters.

Because at the end of the day, Rotary isn’t just about meetings, it’s about people, service, and the kind of energy that keeps a club strong.

We work hard. We serve with heart. And yes, we make room for fun along the way.
Thank you Dr. Maria🙏
