To understand the Rotary Club of Griffin, one only needs to look at the membership. Service above self is seen in the everyday lives of the men and women that comprise this club. Every member is plugged into and active in most every aspect of Griffin, Georgia. From church committees to youth groups to community outreach, Griffin Rotarians are serving others quietly and effectively. They are not serving others because they are Rotarians; they are Rotarians because they like to serve others. I will never forget what I was told by Philip Smith when I first moved to Griffin. Philip said that this community will take care of you, it is your responsibility to give back to the community and help take care of others. That is what it means to be a member of the Rotary Club of Griffin.
