Celebrating Literacy

Our 75th anniversary challenge coins have arrived, and every member receives two. Carry one as a reminder of the Four-Way Test. Put the other to work: hand it to a prospective member and they can redeem it for a free Monday lunch with us at Maggiano's. It's the easiest invitation you'll ever extend.

This past Monday we celebrated our club's long commitment to literacy in Georgia with the launch of the second of six anniversary videos chronicling 75 years of Buckhead Rotary's work in this community. We were also joined by Comer Yates of the Atlanta Speech School, a fellow Rotarian, who spoke about their work teaching teachers how to properly instruct children to read. Comer challenged all of us to understand what it really takes to turn a child into a reader.


We welcomed three outstanding new members this week: Armando Ruiz, John "Jay" Gibson, and Trent Collett. They are an interested and eclectic bunch... a great addition to the club.


Mark Meltzer introduced our new GRSP Student, Neslihan Atici from Turkey.  Nesli will be attending Oglethorpe University.  Reach out to Mark if you would like to invite her to share an experience in Atlanta.

There is no meeting this coming Monday — enjoy a relaxing Labor Day weekend.

Scroll through the rest of The Viewer and check out the Buckhead Rotary calendar. We have a lot going on this month, and plenty of ways to serve.
