Show Your Macon Touchdown Club Support for The Methodist Home for Children

Excellent Donation Opportunity

The Methodist Home for Children in Macon, Ga., has had to spend money for COVID-19 that was not in their budget. One of the expenditures involved purchasing tables for the community meetings that are held in The Rumford Center. The Methodist Home for Children opens their doors to the community for meetings. The Macon Touchdown Club is one of the beneficiaries of The Rumford Center at The Methodist Home for Children.

The Methodist Home for Children provides The Macon Touchdown Club a great venue for our meetings. The food they serve is always great, and the personnel is always welcoming to our members.

Making a donation to The Methodist Home for Children would be one of the best investments that you could make.

Founded in 1872, The Methodist Home provides care for children and families in need across South Georgia including a continuum of residential care (Children’s Homes), community foster homes, specialized treatment programs and counseling services to better serve our community. The Methodist Home is a faith-based organization working to better equip at-risk youth and families for the future. Our mission is to be a model agency that restores childhoods, strengthens families and cultivates a people-building organization.

August 22, 2020 Update Regarding Seating Configuration For Meetings

Monday night, September 14th, 6:30PM, is getting closer and closer every day. I am looking forward to seeing everyone, and I know all of you are excited for the 75th year of the Macon Touchdown Club.

Just wanted to give you a visual of what the seating will look like this year. Instead of round tables with 8 members at each table, we will have a different look. It will be more like a classroom setup. See picture for what this will look like.

Something to consider, if you have a group of members that you like sitting with, you might consider sitting on multiple rows, within the same area of the room. That will enable you to have those conversations where you solve the world’s problems, or discuss which team to pick in the Bland Roofing Guessing Game.

If you haven’t received your membership renewal yet, please let us know.

Macon Touchdown Club Update For August 19, 2020

We are looking forward to seeing everyone on September 14th.

All members should have received their renewal application last week. If you did not receive it, please let me or Garland know.

We are working with Lonnie Bivins at The Methodist Home for Children, to provide a safe environment for our members, guests, and speakers.

For now, it looks like there will be a few changes. This list could change as the year goes along. Please be flexible if changes have to be made.
(1) Masks will be required when entering the building, and will be required until everyone comes in and we are all seated at a table. Masks can be removed after everyone is seated. Masks will be put back on when you get up to get your food. Masks will be put back on when the meeting is over and we are exiting the building.
(2) The Methodist Home will have someone at the doors to check temperatures,and to keep a count on the number of people in the building.
(3) The elevator will only be accessible to Members or Guests that are Handicapped, or require the use of the elevator. All other Members or Guests should use the door on the lower level.
(4) We will not be using our name badges this year.
(5) Table seating will be more like classroom seating, with rectangular tables, instead of the round tables. This will enable us to Social Distance.
(6) The Methodist Home for Children will be putting the food on our plates while we go through the food line, instead of us serving ourselves.
(7) There will be markings on the floor as a reminder to social distance while in the food serving line.
(8) This will be a hard one, but at the end of the meeting, we will have to make an effort to not crowd around the speaker or other members.

Mike Parker has offered to have SP Design Group provide masks for anyone that will need one. They will be available at the door of the first meeting.

Thank You for being a member of the Macon Touchdown Club.
