Gallatin Rotary Club

On September 11, 2001 we became a Nation forever changed.

On September 11, 2023 and everyday, May we commit ourselves to looking for the best in each other and working together.

As summer 2023 draws to a close we celebrate the great work done by Rotarians in their professions and in our service to communities, both local and far flung.

On this Labor Day, may your time be safe and enjoyable, and may we reflect on the progress and productivity of our professions.

Tonight’s Fifth Thursday Happy Hour may have been one of the absolute most comfortable ones we’ve ever experienced! Thank you to all members of both the Noon and Satellite clubs who came to spend some time together.

By the way, we took a vote. The result was…

***If you were not at Fifth Thursday tonight, you are obligated to help on Friday, September 1 with parking for the Gallatin high school football game! Please let Steve Sudbury know he can count on your help at GHS vs Mt. Juliet - Rotary Parking!***

Don’t apply the Four Way test to the paragraph above, just follow the obligation notice! ... See more

Checking your calendar for Thursday as you slow down for the night?

Open your calendar and move “ROTARY!” from lunch to Happy Hour for this week!

From Thursday, August 10, 2023

One sign of a good Rotary meeting is probably when the questions run long, and the speaker answers every one but then has to dash out to get back to class without taking a photo with the Club President!

That happened this week when GHS football coach Michael Stroup visited our club for the first time. Coach Stroup spent a good bit of time talking about his work ethic and ethos for the teams he leads. First focus is always on the next 10 yards, and he feels that greater successes follow attention to small details. Beyond the playing field, Coach expects his players to be excellent contributors to their school and their community.

Tonight is the first opportunity of the fall to support the green wave. A scrimmage against Clarksville kicks off at 6 PM this evening.

Do you know who we did get a picture of? That would be 2022-2023 Rotarian of the year Josh Nelson! Josh was unable to attend our end-of-the-year banquet in June so Past President Janet Rambo caught up with Josh this week to present his award.

For several years, Josh has been heavily involved behind the scenes, recruiting our weekly speakers, and producing our weekly bulletin. Josh, we are deeply grateful for all that you contribute to our Club! This is a well earned recognition!

Whewwww. What a day!

So number one, Jeff Hem is hands down one of the best voices to stand behind our mic and tell stories in a long time. Well yeah. He’s a professional radio play-by-play announcer for the Nashville Sounds.

Number two, Jeff was a textbook in day to day preparation; a great example for business and community lives.

Number three, Jeff was also great with relaying what makes this club a vibrant and entertaining part of the Nashville community life, regardless of affiliation to the MLB parent club.

Tune into 94.9FM to hear Jeff in his day… well mostly evening… job for an upcoming Sounds game. Or, better yet, make plans to catch a game in person at First Horizon Park!

Thanks, Jeff!

Will there be hot dogs and peanuts and Cracker Jacks at lunch today???

Baseball is hitting the late season stretch run and we welcome Nashville Sounds play-by-play announcer Jeff Hem to our podium over lunchtime.

Sounds like a fun time so please join us for stories about baseball, and travel, and maybe some shenanigans over the years!

Our Club and our caterer, Bit-O-Heaven, are good about honoring members in the week after they have passed away. Today we held a seat for Gene Branham.

More to come this afternoon about our program speaker, but for now we share the space held for Gene.
