What a heartwarming celebration as we marked our 75th anniversary together, bringing generations of members, from longtime friends to those just joining our Buckhead Rotary family. We are especially grateful to our past presidents for their leadership and dedication, which have helped shape our club into the vibrant and thriving community it is today.

Hosted 74 GRSP students from 32 countries with contributions reaching $333k since 1986

Donated $22k+ to the Polio Plus efforts

Accrued $2.6+ M in Buckhead Rotary Foundation

30% of members are women
