Welcome Back, Buckhead!
School bells rang across Atlanta Public Schools this week — welcome back, parents! Among those students are our own Horizons Atlanta scholars, two of whom we honored at last week's meeting for outstanding effort and achievement during this summer's program: Lorenzo Cummings (The Galloway School) and Aitana Berrios Tello (Atlanta International School). Their energy is a reminder of exactly why we do this work.
This week we unveiled the first of our 75th Anniversary videos, honoring Alec Smythe and the establishment of our Signature Project charity support program. Look for a new video every month for the rest of the year, each spotlighting a different chapter in what has made this club extraordinary.

Please join us in welcoming our newest blue badge recipients, Carl Wilhjelm and Matt Frost. Well earned!
Next week brings a marquee speaker: Sonny Perdue, former Governor of Georgia and Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. Please register if you plan to attend — this is one you won't want to miss.
And there's still more 75-year history headed your way, through a podcast created especially to celebrate our diamond anniversary. Details below.
