Help Celebrate Tucker Day, May 2
On Saturday, May 2, the Mainstreet Tucker Alliance shuts down
the streets in downtown Tucker for Tucker Day. The fun starts at 9 am with an opening ceremony, followed by a parade and live music on two stages, plus food trucks and local vendors.
The DeKalb Rotary Council is a bronze sponsor of Tucker Day, and Decatur Rotary members will join other DeKalb clubs at the Rotary booth (near FODAC’s booth). It’s a great opportunity to promote Rotary and to talk to prospective members about what we do and why.
Join us for a fun time! Sign up for a shift at the booth HERE.
