May 5 Speakers
Friends of Bulloch Hall - Bob Hagan, Jacque Digieso, Karen Schwank, Pam Billingsley
What do Mittie Bulloch and Bulloch Hall have to do with Teddy Roosevelt? Why is shopping at Mittie's Gift and Museum Shoppe so unique and amazing? Come to the May 5th Roswell Rotary Meeting and discover the answers and more directly from Bob, Jacque, Karen, and Pam.
Friends of Bulloch, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1995 and dedicated to the preservation and restoration of Bulloch Hall (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) and an authentic, well curated interpretation of the Bulloch family. It was the childhood home of Mittie Bulloch, mother of the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt.
Robert Hagan is President of Friends of Bulloch, Inc. and several fellow Rotarians are on the board. Friends of Bulloch, Inc. has raised millions of dollars that have reconstructed, restored, preserved and maintained the site to include the two reconstructed quarters, carriage house, summer house, pavilion, terrace & fireplace, and Museum Shop and also purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of 1839 period furnishings, window treatments and textiles for Bulloch Hall.
Upcoming on May 21st is the 37th Annual Magnolia Ball, the primary fundraiser for Bulloch Hall. A beautiful dinner and dance are being planned at the Atlanta Country Club. The latest fundraising efforts have been the construction of a timber frame Blacksmith Shop which will be completed before the Magnolia Ball and a beautiful pergola entrance to Orchard Hill.
The former Museum Shop has been transitioned to charming Mittie's Gift & Museum Shoppe with unique and desirable merchandise that you will want for yourself as well as to buy for gifts. All proceeds from Mittie's support the preservation and restoration of Bulloch Hall. For more information about Friends of Bulloch, Inc. go to www.friendsofbulloch.org
After Hours Club Update
Next Meeting May 3- 6:30pm Artillery Room@Gate City
After having a lot of fun (maybe TOO much fun) last week at Alive in Roswell (see picture with our awesome President, Terry!) we got down to business this week and had a Board meeting. With so many fresh and exciting ideas floating around, it was time to nail down some activities and get to work serving our community! We met Sunday afternoon at Variant and had a very productive meeting. We planned three months’ worth of projects and events! Stay posted for opportunities to get involved!
Our next meeting is Tuesday, May 3 at 6:30 at The Artillery Room @ Gate City where we will unveil all our exciting event schedule! Fabulous Ian will also be there taking headshots. And, a few new members will be initiated in Rotary After Hours!
Mark your calendars for an extra special After Hours meeting coming up. Help us pack the house on June 7 as bestselling author Chris Tuff will be our guest speaker!
Sat, May 7, 8:30 - 10:00am: Licensed Prof'l counselor and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist of Fit Mind Counseling Aleksandra Rakita-Jeremic will talk
Community Hike: Walk (and talk) with a Doc
"Not Much" is the too-common answer to 'what will get your out on the house on a Saturday morning?"
So here are multiple reasons:
- This is a celebration and periodic check-in for how you are doing with your doctor's advice to do something physical. We're not judging; we're supportive.
- Our guest speaker will be Aleksandra Rakita-Jeremic, MS, Licensed Professional Counselor of Fit Mind Counseling will share ideas to get over "I don't want to or like to exercise."
- 100 reasons why you should go for a walk
If you want to look like President Terry and the many other svelte Rotarians, this is what the doctor ordered. :-)
Our walk will be at the Hyde Farm Park Trail-a great trail along and crossing a quiet creek, along with one hill to challenge you a bit. Fascinating history viewing old farm buildings.
726 Hyde Rd, Marietta, GA 30068 <> https://www.atlantatrails.com/hiking-trails/johnson-ferry-trail/
Note: Our June walk will be Sat, Jun 4 at 8:30am.
