Gratitude Wall: Members Helping Members

Highlighting a few of the many acts of service our members give to each other:


James Rouse would like to thank Michael Curling

"Rotary talks often about Service Above Self, but sometimes the clearest examples come in the most unexpected ways.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Michael Curling. On paper, we might be considered competitors — his family owns a brewery, and mine owns one as well. But not once have I felt that dynamic between us. Instead, my wife and I were welcomed with open arms, treated with genuine kindness, and encouraged to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

What stood out most wasn’t just the welcome — it was the advocacy. Michael didn’t just shake our hands; he vouched for us. He believed we belonged in this room and in this organization.

That’s Rotary.

It’s a reminder that service, fellowship, and integrity rise above business, titles, and perceived competition. I’m grateful for leaders who model abundance over scarcity and community over rivalry.

Thank you, Michael, for living the mission."


Lynne Lindsay would like to thank 75th Anniversary Video Committee

"Lynne Lindsay would like to thank the 75th Anniversary Video Committee—Cheryl Greenway, Lou Tabickman, Kathy Igou, Mason Beard, Asch Ashenbach, and Jackie Jordan—for their tremendous time and energy in creating our historical recap video. Their dedication has given us a piece of history we can proudly share with future clubs for years to come."


Jackie Jordan would like to thank Bob Hagan

"Jackie Jordan has been the grateful recipient of Bob Hagan’s expertise in assisting her to locate an appropriate physical rehab center for her college friend and longtime Atlanta resident. Whatta guy who is a wealth of knowledge in that arena…heaps of thanks! Without his input she’d probably still be roaming the streets, scaring the neighbors!"
