Welcome To The Rotary Club of Sugarloaf

The Rotary Club of South Gwinnett County (RCOSGC) was chartered on September 17, 1982.  Three charter members still actively participate in all club activities.  The club has historically performed at a competitive level with other clubs of its size within District 6910.  The name of the club was changed to Rotary Club of Sugarloaf (RCOS) on February 27, 2018. The new RCOS meets for lunch on Thursdays at the Sugarloaf Country Club at 2595 Sugarloaf Club Dr. Duluth, GA 30097.  Past locations of club meetings have been Northwood Country Club, Lawrenceville, Summit Chase Country Club, Snellville, and Little Gardens Restaurant, Lilburn.  RCOS is proud to have a Past District Governor, a current Assistant Governor and several former Assistant Governors among its membership.  Various members have held other leadership roles in District 6910 activities.

Our Key Service Projects

Childhood Health and Education

Type 2 Diabetes Prevention: We have partnered with the Gwinnett Medical Center to support programs aimed at educating at risk children in Type 2 diabetes management and prevention. This is our 3rd year of supporting this cause aimed at mitigating the effect of this fast growing disease in our Gwinnett community.

Corley Elementary School: We volunteer as readers in a bi-weekly reading program aimed at encouraging elementary and 1st grade students to develop a love for reading – the key to academic success. We also host a Student of the Month celebration for a deserving Corley student, teacher and parents at a club meeting.  In addition we support an annual Corley Career Day where our members talk about their vocation and we have completed various playground improvement projects at Corley including an outdoor classroom.

Gwinnett Technical College: We support an annual scholarship for deserving Gwinnett Tech students to assist with expenses for books and tuition to help in completing their education.

International Service Project

The Good Samaritan Missionary Ministry house is in the Dominican Republic and located at: Autopista Nagua-Cabrera, Barrio Los Pajones de Payita, Provincia Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Frente al tanque de Inapa. This is a very remote mission house that is 2 hours from Santo Domingo, the capital city.

This project addresses a Water and Sanitation need and the objective is to build and install a septic tank for the current mission house and completely finish the bathroom. This mission house currently has a restroom, but it cannot be used because there is not a septic tank.  Work is expected to begin on 8/1/2015 and be complete by 11/1/2015.

Interact Clubs

Lawrenceville Boys and Girls Club, Brookwood High School: We sponsor Interact clubs at both Lawrenceville Boys & Girls Club  and at Brookwood High School.  As part of this sponsorship we provide scholarships for college books for 2 deserving seniors and sponsor 2 students to the annual Rotary Youth Leadership Academy to help emerging student leaders develop their skills at a 4 day program at the Tallulah Falls School.

We also have fun partnering with our Boys & Girls Interact Club in supporting the annual summer ice cream social and the Thanksgiving dinner for the kids.

Other Community Causes

Our club has also supported important community institutions and causes including Annandale Village, Relay for Life, Gwinnett Great Days of Service, United Way.
