Minions Wrap up Ferst Readers Character Contest
We have had so much fun this October as the Rotary "Minions" and as the contest comes to a close we would like to thank all those that voted for The Minions and donated to Ferst Readers of Henry County. We appreciate all of your support.
For those of you that would still like to help the children of Henry County, reach out directly to Ferst Readers of Henry County to donate. By doing so you can help provide the building block to a strong learning foundation thru literacy.
Georgia Court of Appeals Judge, John Pipkin III, "Trea" - Former Henry County Rotarian
We were delighted to host Georgia Court of Appeals Judge, John Pipkin III, “Trea” as our guest speaker this week. Trea shared his career path with us which he attributes to luck along with the ability to gain solid experience early on in his career. We all know it also took a lot of hard work and it was wonderful to welcome a former Rotarian back to spend some time with us and share his success. Prior to being an Appeals Court Judge, Trea served in Henry County as a Superior Court Judge and he explained how much it meant to him to serve right here in his hometown. He never thought he wanted to be a Judge but all along the way doors were opened and unexpected opportunities were presented. Whether luck or divine intervention it’s clear his path thru the Judicial System was meant to be.

Henry County Rotary Club's Annual Golf Tournament
On Monday October 21st Golfers headed to the greens for a
beautiful day in the sunshine while supporting Henry County Rotary Club’s Annual Golf Tournament with a portion of proceeds going to Rotary
International's efforts to eradicate polio and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Probate
Court is a constitutionally created office widely known for handling cases like
probate of wills, administration of estates of deceased persons, and
appointments of guardians or conservatorships of the person and property of
incapacitated adults. However, we learned some additional and more
surprising things probate courts also handle such as exhumations for relocation
and taxidermy disputes. Judge
Powell described their service as those that cover “life, death and beyond” and
that certainly covers a wide range of topics / cases.
