When Bill Clinton and Barak Obama were president, many members of Congress vehemently opposed their policies and politics. We truly believed they had bad ideas for America, but most of us did not question their mental acuity because we had no reason to.

This month we need to make a huge SHOUT OUT to so many people who supported our recent scholarship drive. Atlanta Area Rotary on its own does not have the thousands of dollars to give away to graduating seniors. But, living here in Atlanta, we have a HUGE support system. Thank you to each and every business and individuals who gave us money for this important program. I’ve proudly said that area seniors have received almost $200,000 because of our Rotary Scholarship program since 2004. Terry Foster will enjoy the water fun at Great Wolf Lodge by winning our grand prize. Sherry Robertson will be cooking up a storm with her new griddle donated by Price’s Hardware. Tina Hill plans to lavish her family with Christmas shopping at Bass Pro Shop, thanks to SRK Ranch. Tami Head will enjoy dining at Luigi’s with her gift card from Luigi’s. And Ricky Coats will enjoy those donated (2) boxes of shotgun shells. Thank you to those donors also.
