rotary of atlanta west end - PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
As we enter an uncertain
time of significant change for our nation, I want to reaffirm that AWER remains
a steadfast sanctuary for small "d" democratic values—values that
unite us in mutual respect, open dialogue, and genuine caring relationships
with each other and our community. Our club’s foundation rests on
principles of inclusivity, integrity, and collective empowerment, creating a
space where each member’s voice contributes to our shared mission of public
service.
We will continue to deepen our commitment to these principles
together and extend an open invitation to those seeking fellowship within a
group where these values are actively practiced. For prospective members, AWER
offers not only a membership but a genuine platform for effecting real,
positive change. Here, every contribution is valued, and we unite in service to
our community with genuine care and integrity.
Together, we’ll strengthen our community and live by the
4-way test to be a beacon of stability and positive action. Let’s keep
AWER thriving as a place where democratic engagement and genuine care are
experienced and celebrated.
In solidarity,
Jared Evans
Club President

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.
