Celebrating 100 Years by Giving in Moultrie


In honor of its 100th Anniversary, the Rotary Club of Moultrie donated over $10,000 to local organizations to support their efforts in making our community a better place. The selected groups include The Forgotten Initiative, Serenity House, YMCA Seniors, Hero House, Leadership Legends, Breathe Ministries, and the Humane Society. We look forward to seeing these groups change lives!

After much success placing seven Little Free Libraries (repurposed newspaper boxes) in the Moultrie community during the 20-21 Rotary year, the club had the opportunity to partner with Colquitt County Schools to build six additional libraries this year. The libraries were built by the construction classes at C.A. Gray Junior High School and will be registered with the national organization. These new Little Free Libraries will be and located at C. A. Gray Junior High School as well as Cox, Stringfellow, Okapilco, Norman Park, and Funston Elementary Schools. While they are located at schools, everyone in the community is encouraged to use them to share and borrow books.

With more than 775 million people over the age of 15 (nearly 17 percent of the world's adult population) being illiterate, the club hopes this initiative will strengthen the capacity of Moultrie and Colquitt County to support basic education and literacy.
