We head to the Fulton County Animal Shelter, 1251 Fulton Industrial Boulevard, NW, Atlanta, GA 30336 on Monday June 8th to make cat and dog lick mats, hear more about LifeLine’s community outreach programs and enjoy a good ole southern lunch of fried chicken. Optional tours are available for anyone who is interested. And take home a new cat or dog; loveable and adoptable animals are ready to be a part of your family and bring fun and love into your home. We start at our regular time, 12:15 pm.

President’s Message: Help Us Reach Our GRSP Goal by June 30th

Since 1946, the Georgia Rotary Student Program (GRSP) has provided scholarships that promote cultural understanding, lifelong friendships, and the ideals of Rotary worldwide. This year, Buckhead Rotary proudly sponsored Dani Bergamo from Brazil.

Our goal is to reach $100 per member in GRSP contributions, which will earn our club a 50% incentive credit toward sponsoring next year’s student. This reduces the club’s sponsorship cost and allows these funds to be reallocated to such things as our signature projects.

We are currently at $86.29 per member and need $2,012 more to reach our goal. If you would like to contribute, please do so by June 25th and indicate that your gift is for Buckhead Rotary, so the club receives credit. All payments and inquiries to our treasurer Radu Zernoveanu at raduzer@gmail.com or 919.699.7238.

Give Today!

- Easy Button! Email Radu at raduzer@gmail.com and request this donation be added to your account and you will be billed during the next invoice cycle.

- Pay by credit card at one of our meetings.

- Zelle payment –  to buckhead.dues@gmail.com and specify GRSP

- Hand deliver a check to a meeting by 6.30.26 - but remember we only have a few meetings left in June! 

Thank you for helping us support GRSP and next year’s international student.
