The National Day of Prayer in the United States is scheduled for Thursday, May 7. That is when the Rotary West End Atlanta Prayer Breakfast is scheduled for Thursday, May 7, from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM. This event builds on last year’s inaugural breakfast, which was a success led by AWE Rotarian Rose Caplan, and helped catalyze community action in the formation of the West End/Westview Interfaith Council, now operating under the West End Merchants Coalition and led by honorary member Myrna Fuller.

We desperately need the operational components of this year’s event and need member support to move forward. Priorities include securing a location that can accommodate approximately 30–35 attendees, confirming a simple breakfast menu (donuts, bagels, coffee, fruit, water, juice, and other hand-held items), and identifying faith leaders to participate in the program.

Additional setup requirements include arranging seating, music, and ensuring other essentials are available for serving breakfast. We also need to prepare and distribute an announcement so members and guests can mark their calendars and RSVP.

And we need all that ASAP.

If the club intends for this to become a recurring tradition, it will require members to step forward and organize it; if not, we can treat it as a one-time or occasional effort rather than a standing obligation. Execution depends on members taking ownership of these components.
