Last action March 27, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally commends the Rotary Club of Johns Creek-North Fulton for its community service and charitable projects, both locally and abroad.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring the Rotary Club of Johns Creek-North Fulton. It recounts the club's history, chartered in 2013 and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Roswell, and notes it currently has 51 active members and 23 satellite members. The resolution highlights the club's activities, including hosting an annual 9/11 Patriot Day Commemoration that raises money for the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation, and participating in a Global Grant project to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities at six government schools in Nepal.
