Atlanta's bustling downtown hosts outstanding family-friendly attractions including the Georgia Aquarium, the Center for Civil and Human Rights, the World of Coca-Cola, Centennial Olympic Park, the College Football Hall of Fame and CNN Center-as well as museums, shops and more. All this is an easy walk from the Georgia World Congress Center, Rotary's convention venue and major hotels.
Catch the Atlanta Streetcar from Centennial Park to the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, a must-see attraction featuring the Nobel Laureate's childhood home, gravesite, and The King Center for Nonviolent Social Change.
A major factor standing in the way of greater involvement is “time aversion,” according to Americus Reed, a professor of marketing at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. All of us have limited time on earth and we are, consciously or not, very choosy about how we spend it. In a series of studies, Reed and his colleagues showed that service-oriented people such as Rotarians are most likely to spend their time on specific charitable acts if they are given “moral cues” about how good a particular action will make them feel after they volunteer. “Giving time more strongly reinforces the moral self, compared with giving money,” Reed says.
