Rotary Club of Paulding County

Paulding County Rotarians, we continue to add Paul Harris Fellows even in this time of pandemic and uncertainty. It's because you are good Rotarians and you recognize and understand the importance of continuing Rotary's good works. Thank you for your generosity! Club Member Matt Mason receives his Paul Harris Certificate and pin from Pres. Elect Matt Britton. The Rotary Foundation is Rotary's charity. Every member of Rotary should recognize the importance of contributing as ...able to fund the projects. Now, we are bringing some of those project dollars back to Paulding County - and we have big plans for the future. If you are not yet a Paul Harris Fellow I can help you become one. If you are a Paul Harris Fellow I can help you add another and name someone you wish to honor a Paul Harris Fellow. Name a spouse, a child, or a grandchild - maybe a co-worker or a partner in business. It's quite the honor. Roy Strickland See more

Paulding Rotary Apples for Teachers 2020 Every year the Paulding County Rotary Club delivers fresh apples to all elementary schools in Paulding County. This 2020 was no exception as the Paulding Rotarians met and loaded up apples to deliver all over the county. Our club members love the opportunity to continue this tradition. A simple gift and an act of recognition can mean a lot to those who serve as educators. From the Paulding County Rotary Club to all the teachers in Paulding County we express our heartfelt thank you for all your service. Rotarian Matt Mason and Doug Shaw delivering apples.
