Benefitting the Herb Traub Gathering Space in Forsyth Park
Wednesday, May 21, 2025, 6:00 pm- 9:00 pm
at Broughton Street Bowl and Brew
Metropolitan Savannah Rotary is hosting a fundraiser to build a picnic and gathering space in Forsyth Park, honoring the late Herb Traub, a member of Rotary Club of Savannah known for championing projects that made Savannah better for all: illuminated monuments in downtown squares, fountains jetting high in the air over Daffin Park, and the glittering restoration of the Lucas Theater. Metro Savannah Rotary is about to turn 15, and we want to use this landmark as a way to give back to our community. A committee went through a year-long selection process, and we’ve partnered with the Rotary Club of Savannah on this very public and impactful project. While the fundraiser is one night, the impact of this project will last for years to come.
