Thought for the week — When you take a disciplined approach to your life and your responsibilities, God will reward your good judgment. Self-discipline pays — it always has and it always will. 

Mark Maloney, former president of Rotary International, will be guest speaker at the Sept. 12 FrankTalks as he leads a discussion on “Celebrating Community.”

Maloney will begin his presentation at 9:30 a.m., following a coffee social that gets underway at 9. Hosted by Franklin Tomorrow, this month’s FrankTalks will be held in Asbury Hall at Franklin First United Methodist Church off of Mack Hatcher Parkway.

Maloney will kick off FrankTalks by discussing the Celebrate Community initiative, which was organized by four worldwide volunteer service organizations.

Leadership from the service organizations Kiwanis International, Lions Clubs International, Optimist International and Rotary International have encouraged their clubs and youth programs around the world to work together on projects during one week as part of a joint initiative dubbed Celebrate Community – #CelebrateCommunity.  

Issues related to health and wellness, food insecurity and hunger, education and literacy, and the environment will be addressed through community cleanups, food donations and distributions, walks or runs to raise money for specific causes and book collections for children. 

Community service will take center stage the week of Sept. 11-17 as local area Kiwanis, Lions, Optimist and Rotary clubs will take part in a global service week initiative to strengthen communities and improve lives. 

FrankTalks is presented monthly in partnership with Renasant Bank and Franklin Tomorrow's sustaining partner, Williamson Medical Center.
