Peachtree City had the honor of hosting 38 exceptional students
from 21 countries during a fun-filled weekend for the Georgia Rotary
Student Program (GRSP). These students, attending 25 different universities
across Georgia, represent the diversity and cultural exchange at the heart of
the GRSP. They are hosted by Rotary districts 6900, 6910, and 6920, and during
their time in Peachtree City, we made sure to show them a true southern
experience!
The weekend kicked off with one of Peachtree City's favorite
activities: golf cart rides! The students enjoyed cruising through our scenic
paths, setting the tone for an adventurous few days. We took over the local
bowling alley for some friendly competition and served up a classic Peachtree
City staple—Partners Pizza.
A behind-the-scenes tour of Trilith Studios was a highlight,
giving students a unique glimpse into the world of film production. To top it
off, they had the chance to meet Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A. We then
gathered for lunch at Truett's Luau, adding another layer of cultural exploration to
the weekend.
Our service project took us to Clothes Less Traveled, a beloved
local non-profit thrift store, where the students lent a helping hand to
support the community. The evening continued with a true southern BBQ feast,
complete with Mac & Cheese, Baked Beans, and the ever-popular Banana
Pudding. No GRSP weekend would be complete without more golf cart fun, and, of
course, a late-night Waffle House run to wrap it all up!
The weekend was an incredible time of sharing cultures, building
friendships, and showcasing the warm hospitality of Peachtree City. We are
grateful for the opportunity to connect with these amazing young men and women,
and we look forward to seeing the impact they will make in the world.
