President's Welcome Message

Welcome to the Rotary of Griffin, Georgia Website.

It is a tremendous honor to serve as President of this dynamic and service-driven club for the 2025–2026 Rotary year. I’m excited to lead alongside such dedicated Rotarians as we continue to embody the Rotary motto: Service Above Self.

The Rotary Club of Griffin has a proud legacy of leadership, fellowship, and community impact—locally and globally. This year, we will continue that tradition by focusing on meaningful service projects, growing our membership, and sharing the Rotary story throughout our community.

Our theme for this year centers on Unite for Good, and I believe every Rotarian has a unique gift to share—whether it’s your time, your talent, or your voice. My goal is to help every member feel connected, empowered, and inspired to make a difference.

I also encourage visitors to join us for a meeting and see firsthand the energy and camaraderie that make our club so special. You’ll find opportunities to serve, build friendships, and be part of something bigger than yourself.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. I look forward to a year of purpose, impact, and Rotary fellowship.

With gratitude,
Natalie Marshall
President, Rotary Club of Griffin
2025–2026

Carrying on a Tradition of Service

My father was a Rotarian and a former President of the Spring Lake, MI, Rotary Club. I remember occasionally going to meetings with him as a child.

I knew that they did great things in the community, but not much about the group itself. It took joining the Club to understand how the motto of Service above Self plays out in practice in the day-to-day actions of my fellow Rotarians … [more]
