Rotary Club publishes 25th edition of Peachtree City's telephone book

Twenty-five years ago, some Peachtree City citizens approached the Rotary Club of Peachtree

City about publishing a "local telephone book." The

idea was to help the small businesses of the city have

an effective, but inexpensive, medium for

advertising their local services.

The club accepted the challenge and produced

the first Peachtree City telephone directory. This

first endeavor consisted of a stapled-together

booklet covering only Peachtree City, and the

circulation was just a few thousand.

Recently, the club completed their 25th edition

of the phone book and distributed 30,000 of the

800-page books to businesses and residences. The

book is now called the Fayette County Telephone Book

to reflect the expanded coverage.

Sale of advertising in the phone book is the

club's major fundraiser. Monies from the advertising

sales help support numerous international, national

and local projects. County projects include, the

Fayette County YMCA's "Partner in Youth" program,

the Fayette County Council on Battered Women, the Fayette Samaritans, the Joseph Sams School,

Meals on wheels, the Gathering Place and the local

scouting program.

Additional copies of the new phone book are

free of charge at the following locations:
