North Fulton Rotary Club Helps 150 Students with Supplies

When local school children need help with school supplies, the Rotary Club of North Fulton responds with enthusiasm.

The club kicked off its new Rotary year with the tradition of a service project that is a great support to the local North Fulton community, according to Todd Bellocchio, public relations chair for the club. Children benefiting attend North Fulton public schools that have a diversified population, with about 65 percent being of international backgrounds. 

Rotary Club Member Cliff Wilcox coordinated the gathering and delivery of school supplies, including notebooks, pens, pencils, bags, and bag tags with the Rotary “4 Way Test” to four schools in the local area:

• 75 bags with supplies were delivered to in Roswell on Aug. 11. Principal Lynn Johnson received the gift on behalf of the school and its students.
• 25 bags with supplies were delivered to in Roswell on Aug. 19. Principal John Anderson received the gift on behalf of the school and its students.

•  25 bags with supplies were delivered to in Roswell on Aug. 19. Principal Neil Pinnock received the gift on behalf of the school and its students.
