We will be meeting at The Pirates House this Friday in our normal meeting room - Captain Flints Hall. The side door to the room will be unlocked if you would prefer to use that entrance.
Our program for the meeting this week is Officer Installation! Join us this Friday as we say thank you to those members who served on the RCSE Executive Board this past year and welcome the new officers for the upcoming Rotary year. We are asking all PAST ROTARY PRESIDENTS to participate in handing down the gavel to President Elect, Kim Campbell.
RCSE looks forward to seeing all members and guests on Friday!
Hello! RCSE will be ordering t-shirts for all Rotary members to wear at projects such as service events! If you would like to order one, you need to tell Kerri your size. You can email her at rotarysavannaheast@gmail.com or let her know at one of our upcoming meetings. The club is covering the cost of the shirt so it is FREE for all members!
Summer is here, and we'll be helping prepare Haven Elementary for the new school in both June and July this year! This month, we are purchasing books for the Haven Media Center, which are not only deeply valued by the students but also appreciated by our speakers who we donate them in honor of. There are two options to participate:
This past Friday, RCSE welcomed Tara Setter from the Savannah Book Festival! Before Tara was introduced by Cheri Dean, President Mark Sprosty reminded all members of the June service project which is a book drive for the Haven Elementary Media Center. Once all Rotary business items were discussed and Happy dollars collected, Tara began her presentation.
The Savannah Book Festival is a non profit organization that was founded in 2008. There are two components to the festival - headliners (ticketed events) and free lectures on Saturday with over 40 authors at various venues in downtown Savannah. They strive to have a balance between fiction and nonfiction along with a variety of genres. Tara talked about the criteria the selection committee uses when selecting authors for the festival. Forty percent of attendance is from people who do not live in our area and estimates have shown that the economic impact to the city is $2.8 million.
Tara also spoke about a program called SBF@schools. Authors come a day early to the festival and visit local schools to present to the students. 60%-70% of authors accept this invitation! The connection that is made between the author and the students makes a difference in the students. The dates for the upcoming Savannah Book Festival is February 5-8, 2026.
