To Register
Go to www.rotarydistrict6900.org and click on District 6900 Database (menu on left). Go to register for events and proceed. Phone me at 770-335-2743 if you have questions. Or you may mail your checks for $50 per person made out to Rotary District 6900 to my address at the bottom of this page. Last year more paid at the door than expected, and lunches ran short! So, please register now. District 6900 Invites Rotary in Georgia to share the work of literacy. This event is a one-day gathering of literacy representatives from clubs. The venue is the beautiful Chapel at The Carter Center in Atlanta. The agenda for the day will begin at 9 am and will continue until 3 pm. Coffee, juice, and pastries will be served in the morning and a delightful boxed lunch is the fare at noon, a great timesaver for those who choose to use their lunch hour to enjoy the museum. Guest speakers are scheduled, and dignitaries from Rotary International will be invited. The facility will be available from 8 am for the set-up of exhibits and will stay open until 4 pm for the breakdown of exhibits. Interact students will help register guests, facilitate the set-up of exhibits, and assist with other activities, as needed.
All District 6900, 6910, and 6920 Rotary Clubs are invited to participate in this event.
Participation requires only a payment of $50 per person. This is one of the most important, yet least taxing projects (financially and time-wise) imaginable. It also helps with the Presidential, Governor, and Zone Citations. What a unique, dynamic, and fun-filled way to add a literacy project to your club's activities during this Rotary year. Coming together, sharing our work, puts the work of literacy in well informed hands.
A T-shirt for Each Participant The black shirt with white imprint is Authentic Pigment® Direct Dyed 100% cotton and is pre-shrunk. It is a magnificent shirt. These will be given to you when you sign in at the conference.
Breakfast Menu For breakfast, there will be a selection of fresh baked breakfast breads including: muffins, croissants, Danish pastries, bagels with sweet butter, jam and flavored cream cheeses, assorted juices, fresh brewed coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and specialty teas.
Boxed Lunches
A delightful choice from Proof of the Pudding Caterers.
Exhibit Details Each exhibitor is asked to exhibit in a scrapbook format or create a visual on a three panel display board or a combination of both scrapbook and display board. The table surface on which the exhibit will rest is approximately 20 inches wide and 4 feet long, so surface space is limited. Support materials may be exhibited to the extent that they fit within the prescribed space. There is not a curtain backdrop. The tables are backed up to the walls. Nothing may touch the walls, and nothing may be removed from the walls.
To ensure the agenda and to invite quiet, engaged discussions between exhibitors and guests, audio visual components are not allowed. If you have a DVD that you care to show, it would be best to have copies made to freely distribute to interested clubs or contact me so that we can discuss the possibilities. There will be audio visual support available for presentations only.
Parking is free. Each attendee will sign-in upon arrival. If you have not done so you may pay at the door. Our absolute limit for space and lunches is 100! No food or drink may be brought intoThe Carter Center.
