“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”
― President Barack Obama
Meetings
Ruritan Clubs hold informative and educational monthly meetings that give Ruritan members an opportunity to share ideas about community improvements and service projects. Club meetings feature a fellowship meal, a club business session, and an educational or entertaining program for club members.
Our Club meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM EST, at the Ruritan Community Center at 2000 Lee Road 430 in Smiths Station, Alabama. (see map) All active members are encouraged to attend every meeting. However, if a meeting is missed, you can "make-up" that meeting either by contributing four (4) hours of community service, by attending a Board Meeting which convenes on the 1st Thursday of each month at 5:00 PM EST, or you can attend another local Ruritan Club meeting. If you do have a make-up, you need to notify the Club Secretary if you wish to receive credit. This will enable you to maintain a record of perfect attendance.
The custom of Smiths Station Ruritan is to have a pot-luck dinner each month unless otherwise specified. Each member is asked to bring a covered dish, i.e. meat, veggie, salad or dessert to share at the meeting. The club will furnish the beverage.
