Being Creative

Although I was in quarantine holding out in my home recovering from the virus, I was able to Zoom into the meeting this last week and thoroughly enjoyed Ron Clarks presentation. It made me appreciate a man who had a vision and was not afraid to think out of the box to change the status quo for teaching. I can only imagine the energy in which those children experience every day at his school. We had many teachers and administrators in the audience, and I hope they can take his message and get creative with our children and future Rotarians here locally.
It was great to see Johnathan Crooks at our meeting and receive the wonderful news that Pam McCleary is on her way to recovery from the virus. I’m Grateful that Amy and I had very minor symptoms and I am ready to “hit the bricks running” as your president! Thanks to PE John and our leadership for covering for me while I was out.
This next weekend is our youth day parade. I hope everyone can come out in force for the parade and don’t forget to bring bags of candy for the kids on Thursday when our Director of parks and recreation, Jeff Leatherman gives us an update on the best park system in Georgia!
