9/11 Donations 
On September 11, 2001, 2196 civilians were killed in the Twin Towers. 418 First Responders died trying to save them. It is hard to believe that many of our students were not even born on 9/11/01.

The Rotary Club of Johns Creek/North Fulton is raising funds to benefit the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation* in memory of the brave men and women who gave their lives trying to help others on 9/11. 

If you would like to donate $10 to commemorate one of the 418 First Responders killed on 9/11/2001, please either mail your donation made out to Rotary Club of Johns Creek/North Fulton to SLJC address below or have your student bring in their donation to our 9/6 program date. 

*The  Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation , a 501(c)3 entity separate from the City of Johns Creek, was established in 2008 to assist firefighters and polices officers injured in the line of duty or to assist their families if they are killed in the line of duty.
 
Councilman Lenny Zaprowski gave Student Leadership Johns Creek, and especially the group of students he participated with in our retreat, a big shout out at the Johns Creek City Council meeting on August 14th.

We are so fortunate to have the support of the Mayor and City Council members!
