Mr. Moody noted that “Men don’t talk about sexual abuse.” He definitely didn’t. He’s an All-American fifty something guy. He played football at Morehouse College. He’s a prominent Atlanta contractor. He’s married with two kids. And he had a secret. Tickets are $25 per person or $200 for a table of 8 guests.
In club business, Abby Roberts of the Buffalo Trace Council came to the meeting to collect donations that the Rotarians have gotten for the Scouting Organization. Also, the spring Trivia contest will be held Saturday, March 19th at 6PM at the American Legion. Teams are encouraged to come participate and win prize money. A 4 person team is a $40 donation. Food sign up sheets were passed around to get ready for this event. Money made in this endeavor goes toward local charities.
