December 7, 2023 - Thanks for visiting the Rotary Club of Peachtree City, Ed Weber! Ed is a member of the London Bridge - Lake Havusu City, Arizona Rotary Club. Ed's club was chartered just a few years after ours in 1970. Ed brought coins from his club to honor some of our active/retired veterans and our first responders. He also presented President Amy with one of the 50th commemorative coins from the club.
London Bridge's coin program was originated to honor the relocation and reconstruction of the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City and provide a fund-raising vehicle for the many charitable and community projects of the London Bridge Rotary Club. The club released the first coin, the "Havasu Dollar,” in October 1971. A new London Bridge Rotary Commemorative coin was released every October since then and coincided with their annual anniversary celebration dedicating the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The coin program ended with the release of the 50th edition coin in 2021. This very successful coin project allowed the London Bridge Rotary Club to contribute close to $2 million dollars to many community charities and projects as well support Rotary International projects throughout the world.
Thank you for recognizing our club and members with one of these very special coins from your club! What an honor! Hope to see you again in the future when you are visiting your family in PTC!
