Tater Patch Players Presents "The Foreigner"

Check your calendar and find you a date, the Tater Patch Players’ latest offering opens this weekend at the Tater Patch Theater in Jasper ( on the hill behind Walmart.) This Larry Shue comedy is set in a southern fishing camp and you know how us Southerners are about fishing and foreigners – or do you?
Come find out. Tickets can be purchased on line at Tater Patch Players.org

The Rotary Club of Jasper met at the theater this week and had a great preview. It is a great facility and it will be a great performance.

Torrey Mountain Properties was instrumental in the purchase of the new theater and we are a long time sponsor. Here is our ad for this production.

The Rotary Club of Jasper Breaks Ground on New Rotary Youth Park

Rotary Youth Park

Rotary Club of Jasper Breaks Ground on a new Rotary Youth Park


The Rotary Club of Jasper has launched a project to bring a new youth park to Pickens County. The new Rotary Youth Park is located across from the Pickens County Middle School in the Roper Park complex. With all the competitive playing fields, the new County Recreation Center and future Boys & Girls Club facility, the location will be a perfect spot for parents and children of all ages to take a break from all the more structured activities. The plans for the park are complete and there are lots of opportunities for individuals or organization to add Legacy features to the park as it matures and grows.

If you are interested in joining a great local organization with international reach come visit the Rotary Club of Jasper. We meet every Wednesday at Noon on the Appalachian Campus of Chattahoochee Technical College. Just tell them you are Don’s Guest.
