Peachtree City Directory Has a Legacy of Service


October 13 was a lucky day for the Rotary Club of Peachtree City and the local community, when the club published the 45th edition of its Rotary Smart Directory. The directory was first published as a community service project for Peachtree City. Over time, ads were sold to cover the cost of production and printing. By the 1990’s the directory had become the primary fundraising project for the club and has produced over a million dollars that has funded countless projects, both locally and globally.

The project is responsible for seed money for other fundraising projects of the club: Dragon Boats were purchased with money from the directory, and over ten years the Dragon Boat Festival has raised money to support local charities. The directory has also funded the Rotary Elementary School Grand Prix, which has helped local elementary schools raise over a million dollars over the past ten years. In addition to being a long-standing fundraising project, many Rotarians consider it a Family of Rotary Opportunity, with kids looking forward to the project every year.
