Getting to Know You
Meredith Morris ... "Global Citizen" with "Vampire Hours"

If you've attended one of the club's general meeting's during the past couple years, then you've met Meredith who is the first friendly face greeting members and guests. She manages our Laws of Life raffle and embodies the Rotary spirit of community service. She is pictured below (right) with Alison at the welcome table.

Meredith is approaching her two-year anniversary with the club. She loves the unity of Rotary doing good for the community. Her father was a long-time Rotarian and she carries his Montblanc pen with her to remind her to continue his legacy. She has worked in the education field for 28 years, spending time at two public schools and two private schools before becoming a private tutor seven years ago. She works individually with 10-20 private students at a time and although she keeps vampire hours to work with her international students, she loves the flexibility and connecting with students over time. Sometimes she gets to meet her students in person for the first time after providing 2-3 years of online tutoring with them. 

Meredith sees herself as a global citizen of the world and loves studying languages (as her car's license plate "SHXPER" suggests), other cultures, and travel. Oh, and she is the host mom for our 2024-25 GRSP student - Nguyen Hoa from Vietnam - so be ready to say "yes" when she asks you to show her new-found daughter what living in Georgia and being a Rotarian is all about!
