75th Anniversary: 1963 College Scholarship Award Letter

As we celebrate 75 incredible years of the Rotary Club of Buckhead, we are looking back at the milestones that have defined our legacy of service. From our earliest days to our current signature projects, our commitment to supporting the community has remained as strong as ever.

As part of this journey, take a look at this College Scholarship Award Letter from 1963! It is a fantastic piece of our history and a great reminder of the long-standing impact our club has had on local students' lives and education over the decades.

Want to explore more of our history? Check out the newly released "Deep Dive" episode on the Buckhead Rotary podcast! It is a fast and engaging 30-minute run through our proudest moments, tracing the club straight through to today. It is packed with fun facts that even our longest-tenured members might not see coming.

Give the podcast a listen on your next drive or walk, and continue exploring our 75-year history week by week in our growing archive of The Viewer!
