This week, we'll have guest Jordan Williams from the Thomasville City Schools. Williams was named Chief Academic Officer for Strategic Initiatives this summer and is responsible for leading the district’s implementation of its strategic plan and ensuring the schools make consistent progress toward achieving the objectives in the plan. Thursday, he'll share with Rotary details of the city school system's current strategic plan. Read more about him here.
Additionally on Thursday, we'll have a club assembly to elect officers for the 2025-2026 year and president nominee for 2026-2027. President Marta Jones Turner will also provide a brief report on the first quarter of this year and highlight plans for the second quarter.
On Monday, Sept. 30, Rotary will host a luau at the Scott Senior Center. Help celebrate community seniors at the event, which also will honor September birthdays at the center.
