Education Celebration

The Rotary Club of Griffin helps sponsor Norcom’s Annual Education Celebration and Free Store for Teachers. Norcom is a local manufacturer of school supplies whose president is Rotarian Hal Rahn. Other sponsors include Griffin Wal-Mart, managed by Rotarian Scott Owen.

The Free Store for Teachers opens annually to all teachers in the Griffin-Spalding County School System. Griffin Rotarians help hand out tractor-trailer loads of school supplies to teachers to distribute to needy students during the school year. This project assists hundreds of students with much needed school supplies. It further helps the teachers, who often pay for supplies for their students out of their own pockets.

The Rotary Club of Griffin has been a sponsor of the Education Celebration and Free Store for Teachers since its inception and will continue to support the event.
