Stories about Rotary as told by our membership.


Atlanta City Councilmember Byron Amos, District 3

President-Elect Jared Evans introduced the Honorable Byron Amos, Atlanta City Councilmember, 3rd District, as our speaker.

Councilmember Amos said he was honored to speak with our club emphasizing that AWER is “a major force in us moving forward.” He described District 3 as generally populated by Atlantans of lower incomes though the north end of the district includes nearly all of Atlantic Station, many citizens with higher incomes. He then told us that he is motivated to be sure all constituents receive the best in support and services the City of Atlanta has to offer.  With that top of mind, he went on to explain his way of serving constituents.
