Welcome to the Rotary Club of Atlanta West End

The Rotary Club of Atlanta West End gathered on Friday, June 12, 2026, for a special site visit to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home , a skilled nursing facility in Atlanta operated by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne . Rather than the club’s regular meeting format, the gathering centered on a tour of the Home, fellowship with the sisters and staff, and the presentation of the club’s annual donation in support of the ministry’s work. The visit was abbreviated because the Home was also observing a religious feast day, but the shorter format did not diminish the meaning of the occasion.
