Foundation Football Kickoff Social

The Meriwether County Rotary Club Foundation kicked off the football season in true community spirit with an enthusiastic Football Kickoff Social on Thursday, August 14, at the picturesque Fitzgerald Farms. The beautiful farm setting provided the perfect backdrop as members, friends, and guests gathered under a summer sky to celebrate fellowship, football, and the meaningful work of Rotary.

The evening was filled with lively conversation, laughter, and warm camaraderie as attendees connected with both familiar faces and new friends. Decorated in team colors and filled with football-themed excitement, the event captured the joy of the season ahead. Guests enjoyed refreshments, music, and plenty of good-natured rivalry as everyone proudly represented their favorite teams.

Adding to the fun, guests enjoyed friendly rounds of cornhole and Yahtzee, sparking playful competition and plenty of cheering as participants showed off their skills. These activities brought extra energy to the evening and gave everyone another chance to mingle, relax, and enjoy time together.

Beyond the games and excitement, the social also showcased the purpose at the heart of Rotary—service above self. Throughout the evening, members shared stories about the far-reaching impact of the Rotary Foundation and the local initiatives supported through club efforts. Conversations centered on how Foundation contributions change lives, support education, promote peace, and strengthen communities both locally and around the world.

The Football Kickoff Social served not only as a festive start to the season but also as an inspiring reminder of what can be accomplished when Rotarians unite around a shared mission. By blending fellowship with philanthropy, the event energized members for the year ahead and reinforced the club’s ongoing commitment to creating positive and lasting change.
