received an email from one of my Governor classmates yesterday in which he said

GRSP Chair Jim Drake's report at the GRSP Summer Business Meeting held July 16th and 17th at Lake Blackshear
The state of the GRSP program is good as we prepare to welcome the 65th class of students. The GRSP Endowment increased during the past 12 months and reached a significant milestone in excess of $8 million.
146 Georgia Rotary clubs participate in GRSP, which is 71% of the clubs in the state. The 2010-11 class has almost as many students from Iceland (3) as from Colombia (4). As GRSP seeks to promote
"Peace through Understanding," we need to strive to get more students from Middle Eastern countries.

Atlanta Business Chronicle, June 21, 2010
Atlanta
on Monday won the right to host the 2017 Rotary International convention. The convention June 10-14, 2017 at the Georgia World Congress Center
will attract more than 30,000 Rotarians from around the world, and they
will occupy an estimated 41,000 hotel rooms. Their average length of
stay is estimated to be 10 days, which means a big economic jolt for
the city's tourism and hospitality industry.
