What skills and attributes do our children need to possess to be competitive in the 21st century? How can we provide the kind of support through both their formal education and social development to help our children successfully negotiate their environment and become productive, contributing members of society?

Hometown Hero Holiday Thank You!
 
We are extremely lucky to have the local hometown heroes that we do in Peachtree City / Fayette County.  With the combined efforts of the Rotary Club, the PTC Rotaract Club, Starrs Mill High School Interact Club and our Rotary Community Corps, we were able to pack out multiple snack-packs to deliver to each Fire Station in Peachtree City and to each breakroom at Piedmont Fayette for our healthcare workers.  We hope this small token of appreciation brought a smile to their faces through the holidays and let them know how much we appreciate the heroic efforts they do each day and especially through our challenges in 2020!
 
Be A Santa To A Senior
Oh what fun!  Our Club thoroughly enjoyed being SANTA for our local seniors again this year!  It is always fun to bring a little hope and cheer to those in need - especially during the holidays!  From socks to coffee mugs, sheets to bathrobes and even some simple candy - we had fun doing the shopping for this year's event!  Thanks to Fayette Senior Services for all they do in our community!
