Ambassador Andrew Young, Chair, AJY Foundations

2019 International Relations Award

Andrew J. Young has earned worldwide recognition as a pioneer in and champion of civil and human rights. Ambassador Young’s lifelong dedication to service is illustrated by his extensive leadership experience of over sixty-five years, serving as a member of Congress, African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Mayor of Atlanta, and ordained minister, among other positions.

During the 1960s, Young was a key strategist and negotiator during civil rights campaigns that led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Appointed as an Ambassador to the United Nations in 1977, Young negotiated an end to white-minority rule in Namibia and Zimbabwe and brought President Carter's emphasis on human rights to international diplomacy efforts. As two-term Mayor of Atlanta, Young brought in over 1,100 businesses, over 70 billion in foreign direct investments and generated over a million jobs.

Ambassador Young has received honorary degrees from more than 100 universities and colleges in the U.S. and abroad and has received various awards, including an Emmy Lifetime Achievement award in 2011 and the Dan Sweat Award in 2017. His portrait also became part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.

Ambassador Young also serves on a number of boards, including, but not limited to, the Martin Luther King Center for Non-Violent Social Change, Morehouse College, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State and Americas Mart. In 2003, he and his wife Carolyn McClain Young founded the Andrew J. Young Foundation to support and promote education, health, leadership and human rights in the U.S., Africa, and the Caribbean. Young currently serves as the Chairman of the Andrew J. Young Foundation.

In 2012, Young retired from GoodWorks International, LLC, after well over a decade of facilitating sustainable economic development in the business sectors of the Caribbean and Africa. Young was born in 1932 in New Orleans, and he currently lives in Atlanta with his wife, Carolyn McClain. He is also a father of three daughters and one son, and a grandfather of eight.

Next week's lunch will be in Ann Cramer Room

Hello Kiwanians!

Next Tuesday, our Kiwanis Club of Atlanta luncheon will be upstairs in the Ann Cramer room! This is a smaller room, so be sure to arrive early. Once we reach capacity, all others, as well as late arrivals, will be directed to the overflow room down the hall, which has been piped in for audio. You can reach the Ann Cramer room by the back stairs, or take the elevator to the 2nd floor, turn right and join your Kiwanis friends for a fabulous lunch and program

Thanks for your flexibility as we work with the Loudermilk Center for a win-win partnership!

June is Photo Month!

SMILE! Need to add or update your photo in the Kiwanis Club of Atlanta directory? Julius Lee will be taking photos before and after all the luncheon meetings during the month of June! So put on your best smile and make sure your gorgeous mug is on view for all the members to see!

We Need YOU to be a part of the "Lunch Bunch"!

Our club is looking for about 6 individuals who are willing to become part of the "Lunch Bunch" team! Team members will help the lunch meetings operate smoothly by working the a/v board and sounds system in the back, ensuring that any a/v the speakers use are properly set up, and working the microphones during the Q&A sessions!

While no technical experience is necessary, volunteers should feel comfortable and confident adjusting sound levels and setting up the computer for power point and video presentations. And the benefit is a dedicated comfy seat at the a/v table during lunch!

Please contact Karen at KiwanisClubAtlanta@gmail.com to sign up!

Parking Changes for the Loudermilk Parking Garage

United Way is now contracted with LAZ Parking to provide the parking services for the Loudermilk Center parking garage. And with this comes changes to our parking system, some now and some in the future. Please be sure to read all information thoroughly to avoid having your car towed.

Beginning immediately, parking will cost $12 just for a vehicle to enter the garage and immediately leave it. There is no complimentary time. So be sure you obtain a parking validation sticker when you arrive to a club meeting to ensure that you aren't charge the higher rate.

Reserved Parking Places are only available for Kiwanis Club members who display the Kiwanis decal on their car at all times, even after the club meeting begins. You must have this decal placed inside your back window on the passenger side. If you have a convertible, you can place it on the front window on the drivers side. It is a static cling decal and easy to adhere. Please get one from Karen at the luncheon meeting. If you do not have a decal on your car, you may park in any unmarked parking space located on floors 4 through 6 of the garage.

Guests attending the luncheon meetings will need to park in unmarked parking places, and not the reserved spots.

Starting Immediately: If you do not have a decal on your car and you park in a reserved space, you will be booted and you must pay to remove the boot. The 2nd and subsequent offenses may result in your car being towed.

Parking Cards: If you have a parking card, you will need to complete a form identifying your vehicle and license plate, and return to Karen ASAP. There is a place on the form for a second vehicle in case you drive an alternate car at times. This form will help LAZ identify you as a Kiwanis card parker in case there is ever any trouble with your card working and your ability to enter/exit the garage. A Parking Form may be downloaded HERE.

Also, parking cards are being reprogrammed and will only work on Tuesdays from 9:30 am - 4 pm. If you have a parking card and have been using it to access the garage on other days, it will no longer work.

Parking Cost Increase: Beginning October 1, Parking will increase for both those with parking cards and those that do daily tickets. Beginning October 1st, Parking Cards will cost $38 per quarter and parking tickets will be $4 per luncheon visit and only valid on Tuesday.

Thank you for your attention to this and ensure that your car does not get towed by placing a decal on your car immediately, or parking in the unreserved places.

Thank you.
