Welcome to the

Our club, founded in 1951, is one of the larger clubs in the Atlanta Metro area. We are an active club, with a particular focus on Community Development, Health & Disease, Youth & Education, and International Service.

We meet Mondays at 12:15 upstairs at Maggiano’s restaurant in the heart of Buckhead. Fellow Rotarians are always welcome. If you are interested in learning more about Rotary, feel free to look around the site, or contact us.
