Our Club Site does what ?

Did you know...

How to stay in touch


The Club website provides contact information for Club members that allows us to stay in touch with one another. If you log in the Club's website at www.alpharettarotary.org, go to the Admin tab/page of the website, and in the "My ClubRunner" box on the Admin page, click on "View Club Directory" or "View Club Photo Directory", you will find a list of all the members in the Club. Click on a Club member's name and you'll find addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and more.

If you want to update the information or photo on your profile, go to the Admin page, and in the "My ClubRunner" box, click on "Edit My Profile" or "Upload My Photo" and fill in the information (where do you think we get the birthday information for the bulletin?). Check out your profile when you have a chance and make sure your information is complete and up to date so that Club members can stay in touch with you.

If you have any stories, calendar items, club projects, announcements, photographs or other items of interest that you would like have appear in the bulletin or website, please submit your requests to John Hipes at jhipes@bdhlawfirm.com

Have fun, do some good, make a difference!

2008 Old Soliders Day Parade


The City of Alpharetta and the American Legion Post 201 will held the 56th Annual Old Soldiers Day Parade on August 2. The parade is just one way that our country’s war veterans are recognized for the service. The Old Soldiers Day Parade began years ago as a tribute to veterans of the war between the states, but was discontinued after a few years. Twenty–eight years later, in 1952,
a small group of men in Alpharetta re-dedicated Old Soldiers Day Parade in Alpharetta and started having a parade through downtown Alpharetta. Thanks to these few men and their belief in keeping this memorable tradition alive, this parade has become an annual celebration.

The Alpharetta Rotary Club had a double decker bus and a hay filled trailer for our club members and their families. I grew up going to the parade every year. Now I take my children and stand in the same spot waiting for the floats to come by throwing candy. This in one of the best family events that occurs in Alpharetta every year.

After the parade we gathered for a picnic at Wills Park.
The food was great thanks Mike and Steve...
