Back to School Bash - Distribution FREE School Supplies
Rotary Club of Americus joined forces with other area organizations, non-profits and churches to give out free school supplies to children in our community. The event was coordinated by the Americus Police Department (APD Chief is a Rotarian) and eliminated duplication of services, ensuring that more children got needed supplies. Americus Rotarians gave out 100 packets to 2nd and 3rd grade students with supplies off of their list which included 3-pronged folders, composition books, 24 pack of crayons and pack of glue sticks. We also included a flyer which talked about the 4-way test. See attached for example.
Second Harvest Food Distribution
Rotary Club of Americus has pledged a minimum of 4 volunteers to assist with monthly food distribution at the Community Center in Plains, GA. This was started by former first lady Rosalynn Carter and continues to this day.
Annual Sheffield Gala & Silent Auction
Each year, the Rotary Club of Americus hosts the Annual Sheffield Gala to honor the latest class of Sheffield Leadership Award winners. A silent auction is held in conjunction with the event to raise money for club service projects. Additionally, a Rotary Oak Gavel made from trees planted by Paul Harris and the Tuskegee Rotary Club is auctioned live.
