This past Sunday, President Ben Brewer went to a meet and greet for the 3 GRSP students being sponsored by area Rotary clubs. Ben had the opportunity to visit with Brendan Mungwena who is the student Savannah East is sponsoring in conjunction with Savannah South and Savannah West. Ben reported that Brendan is very excited to be here and seems to be integrating well.
Savannah South and West each have a host family for Brendan and we are looking for someone to fulfill this role for Savannah East. Since Brendan lives at Armstrong, the host family serves more as a contact for questions or any help Brendan might need. The host family may also be called upon during the December holiday. If you are interested in being Brendan's host family, please contact Ben Brewer.
Fines and Banana Moon Pies - what could be better? If you missed the meeting on Friday, you missed a good one. Savannah East welcomed many members as well as guests to our meeting which featured Ty Donaldson with Maven Makers as the speaker.

Jason was originally a member of Savannah Rotary East in the early 2000’s when he was a Commercial Lender/AVP with The Coastal Bank. He was brought into the club by Jean Iaderosa. He spent several years with the club including Sergeant at Arms under Tony O’Reilly. In 2008 he grew a beard and opened a bar in God’s Country, otherwise known as Athens, Georgia. Upon his return to Savannah, Jason rejoined the club on October 17, 2014 sponsored by Dr. Stanley Lester. At this time, Jason was a carefree bachelor with nothing but free time on his hands and employed at TMX Finance. Since then, he got married on May 2nd, 2015 to the former Lindsay Timmons of Thomasville, Ga. and on September 21st, 2016, Jason and Lindsay welcomed their first child with the birth of their son, Bridger Cannon Jones. After much pleading, bribing, and cajoling from Jeff Heeder, Jason started his career at Merrill Lynch as a Financial Advisor on March 24th, 2017. He can be reached at 912-351-2348 or jones.j@ml.com. For those with money to invest, he can also be reached via beeper, Morse Code, or smoke signal. Jason enjoys spending time with his family, and reminiscing about when he had time to enjoy boating, golf, rugby, tennis, Gridiron, Debtor’s Society, and college football.
