Lazy River Walk Clean-Up - March 28, 2026
The Chattahoochee River runs along the border of Cobb County. Vinings Cumberland Rotary benefits geographically from the river and the National Park system around it. On Saturday, March 28, 2026, club members met to walk along the Paces Mill National Park trails to pick up litter. Taking a leisurely pace, members got to socialize and talk with people in the part about Rotary. And, this family friendly event drew children who were fun and engaged! The Cumberland CID was even holding a meeting there while we picked up trash and we were thanked for the work we did. A beautiful day all around!
Sack Pack - Children's Lunches September 8, 2026
As a monthly project supported by a District 6900 Grant, Rotarians prepare 145 Sack lunches for the Table on Delk, an organization that fights sex trafficking and provides these lunches to children living in hotels along the Delk Road corridor as they get off the school bus each school day. Rotarians from both the Vinings Cumberland and Atlanta Brasil Rotary Clubs arrived to assemble these lunches and deliver them to The Table on Delk for immediate distribution.
Tandem Biking with Ga. Blind Sports Association - Aug. 22, 2026
Visually impaired individuals can enjoy the fun of bicycling along the Silver Comet Trail on tandem bikes! The Pilot is a seeing person who drives from the front seat of a tandem bike and the Stoker is the individual on the back of the tandem bicycle who provides the pedal power. With this combination, visually impaired individuals can learn to bicycle or improve their physical fitness with longer and sometimes faster rides!
Vinings Downhill 5K Run for the Kids - August 8, 2026
This year was the 30th Annual fundraiser - the Vinings Downhill Run for the Kids! Over 1300 registrants ran the net-downhill 5K race that benefits children's causes in the immediate vicinity. Starting at the top of Mount Wilkerson, the race ends near the Chattahoochee River. Runners then move to the After Party at Vinings Jubilee for snacks, sports drinks, interaction with vendors, and awards! The Jubilee is also where the Kids Run Run and Doggy Dash occurs. Always fun to see the kids' excitement and the dogs in amazing costumes!
