Our November 10 meeting will be held at the Buckhead Library from 10 am to noon and will feature a presentation from the Atlanta Technical College about its Gap Scholarship Program. There will be breakfast sandwiches, donuts, and coffee; the cost is $6.00.

The Gap Program offers funds to qualified students attending our College/University partner schools who take 12 credit hours of college work. It is similar to our local scholarship program.
