Ferst Foundation Receives Donation

Through its fourth annual Building Community Day program, The Home Depot® Foundation has awarded $20,000 to Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy. The donation will be used to provide operational support to the Ferst Foundation as they expand their program to provide Dolly Parton's Imagination Library books to children from birth to 5 years of age in metro Atlanta. Midtown Rotary has partnered with the Ferst Foundation to raise money for books that are distributed to children throughout District 6900. We are helping shape their future and so is Home Depot!
LAST MEETING

STAR Student/STAR Teacher Breakfast
(Photograph by Bob Wells)


Last Tuesday, Our annual STAR Student/STAR Teacher breakfast was a wonderful event.

Both students and teachers were impressive and yes, the future is in good hands. Robert Walker did a great job of emceeing the event and the table hosts made all of our guests feel welcome. Thanks for getting up early to honor these most impressive young people! Thanks to Ashley Carson and Vance Burgess for a great job in planning this event, one of the highlights of our Rotary year.

DIRECTORY ALERT!

Tom Underwood has agreed to assume the leadership for completing the Directory, because CeCe Pressley has transferred to Washington, DC. To get this finished and in your hands, he needs for you to:

1) If you have not yet sent him a photo, please send him a jpg photo or come early tomorrow or next week so Bob Wells can take your picture.

2) If you have not been contacted by a member of the committee to update or create your Rotary bio, please, contact Tom or Barbara Rose with current information.

Remember, we are on a deadline. If we have not received either of the above, we will have to publish this new directory without your smiling face or interesting information! Thanks in advance for helping us get this ready for distribution.
