The Silver Anniversary Celebration of Peachtree Section deserves an equal in venue status. The Georgian Terrace offers this distinction. This boutique accommodation known for its original marble floors, Southern charm, spacious grand appointments, and guest list has returned to prominence due to a recent $10,000,000 renovation. Prior to Peachtree Section, guests have included Calvin Coolidge, Warren G. Harding, Charles Lindbergh, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tallulah Bankhead, Rudolph Valetanto, and Joe Patten. During the roaring twenties the Georgian Terrace was the site of notable events, but non-equaled the 1939 premier of Gone With The Wind with Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Vivian Leigh, Lawrence Olivier, Olivia de Haviland, Claudette Colbert, Louis B. Mayer, and David O. Selznick.

The Piedmont Ballroom, one of the two most famous ballrooms in Atlanta, will host Peachtree with a buffet menu featuring regional favorites that would please Bear Rabbit include:

-Red and White cabbage Cole Slaw
-Georgia mix Lettuces with Creamy Vidalia Vidalia-Onion Dressing
-Savannah Low Country Boil (shrimp, oysters, crawfish, corn, okra, potatoes, and sausage)
-BBQ Baked Chicken
-Mustard Rubbed Boneless Pork loin
-Horseradish Mashed Potatoes
-Shucked Corn on the Cob
-Green beans and Grilled Squash
-Pecan and Lemon Ice Box Pie

Entertainment during lunch will be provided by a performance of the Classic Singers of Athens, a talented group of performers whose presentation titled “Nights on Broadway” includes excerpts from the Music Man, Sound of Music. Chicago, Cats, and Phantom of the Opera along with other standard favorites. The presentation is lively and exciting.

Past Presidents of Peachtree Section along with regional as well as national officers will be invited and introduced, with highlights of section history relived. Their absence will be as conspicuous as yours. Your lunch and entertainment are being subsidized by the club, so enjoy. Out of town guests and those wanting to linger in the ambience of historic grandeur may avail themselves to a preferred group discounted rate of $99.00 plus tax for a luxury room with suites available from $119 to $329, by contacting the Georgian Terrace at 404-897-1991 or www.thegeorgianterrace.com.
