Club Service

The Rotary Club of Augusta experience includes friendships in and out of Rotary.  It extends to our spouses, partners and neighbors.   Each meeting includes a ‘Sunshine Report’ helping us to keep up with member’s life experience and weekly news and celebrations. topic. We have a time members can announce good news & celebrations  And we have general announcements allowing members   to share news and events occurring in other organizations they hold dear. Most members arrive at least 15 minutes before each meeting  for time to socialize with friends. WE have a Program Speaker each meeting. Sometimes we have social program instead of a Speaker.

Read Across America

Rotarians celebrated Read Across America. The W.S. Hornsby Middle School invited the Rotarians to join them in fostering a love of reading among their students. As an important leader in our community, our presence would have a lasting impact. They were  hosting guest readers from March 3rd-7th, 2025, and they would love for us to visit a classroom and share a story with our students. Our participation will not only encourage literacy but also highlight the importance of reading in all aspects of life. Augusta Club Rotarians AK Gulati, Brinda Balan, Surendra Gupta and Lavern    participated in reading one book each.

    Dan Roger’s Presentation at the Rotary Club of Augusta, GA

    Dan Rogers, Scout Executive Georgia – Carolina Council, discussed Scouting in Augusta. Dan shared his experience backpacking as a scout on the Appalacian Trail and how he had backpacked 13,000 miles. Dan mentioned the many scouting activities including summer camp at the Knox Scout Reservation, the Adventure Center which has swimming, fencing, disk golf, and camps. He also highlighted a local scout who had raised 10,000 dollars for his troop.

    For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.

    While various activities and youth groups teach basic skills and promote teamwork, Scouting goes beyond that and encourages youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for service to others in their community.

    Faye Hargrove received a Moral Compass patch for her work in Scouting.
