A commitment to The Presidents Club lS50,000 or morel, The Founders Club lS10,000 or morel, The Aesculapius Club tS250 annuallyl, or even The Century Club 18100 annuallyl may prove to be difficult at this early stage, no matter how important the purposes which these organizations serve. ' The leaders of The Aesculapius Club, in full con- sideration of this problem, have brought into being a program tailored especially for the new graduate. Called The Associates of The Aesculapius Club, the new group adheres to the following rules: l. Members must have graduated from MCG or another health professions institution within five years. Eligibility expires tive years to the day from the date of graduation. 2. The membership fee is S50 or more per fiscal year lJuly 1 to June 301. This fee automatically pays MCG alumni dues for MCG alumni 3. For each year of membership, each Associate who participates in an MCG Continuing Educa- tion program will be reimbursed later for one day's registration fees, up to a cumulative maximum of five days if the Associate has main- tained membership each of the live years. The refund option must be exercised prior to the expiration of Associate membership eligibility tsee no. 1 abovel. Please contact The Alumni- Foundation Center for these refunds, if desired. 4. Funds received through The Associates of The Aesculapius Club will be used for the same pur- poses as those received through The Aesculapius Club. New graduates, of course, are eligible for membership in each of the other special giving clubs without a waiting period. Benefits of The Associates program are still available to members of the other clubs, as long as the five year eligibility period has not expired. At the conclusion of the eligibility period, new professionals will receive an invitation to join with the other members of The Aesculapius Club in accomplishing the purposes of the parent organization. The membership fee can be paid in several ways, including ill lump sum: and f2J divided into twelve monthly payments automatically deducted from your bank account under the Pre-Authorized Contribution Transfer KPACTJ plan. Funds contributed through The Associates of The Aesculapius Club, The Century Club, and The Aesculapius Club may later be credited toward mem- bership in The Presidents Club or The Founders Club.

s tw cg 0 MCG , in ,, Y ws . .. --...,--, c.. ,.. .v tt it tt 11 ' is H r it . 1 it at S it ta The Aesculapius Club Members of the Aesculapius Club of the Medical College of Georgia today include individuals in the business community, alumni from all five MCG schools, former residents and interns, health professionals from other schools who have developed an interest in MCG because they now practice in this region, and many other friends of the College. This important group provides leadership in areas where financial needs are critical. They recognize that a relatively small transfusion of aid, if supplied in time, can do more good than a massive amount of aid after a program has suffered major set- backs. Funds of The Aesculapius Club are used primarily for innovative programs which contribute to the excellence of the Medical College - in particular those areas which cannot be funded by state or federal sources, or those which can be funded only after serious damage would have resulted due to delay. For example, fellowship and emergency student loan programs: distinguished and visiting professorships and lectureships: faculty recruit- ment: research programs: equipment: apparatus repair: and unusual library requirements. Members of The Aesculapius Club contribute between S250 and 51,499 annually. The Aesculapius Club honors its members at an annual dinner, and at that time presents them with a handsome walnut desk case inlaid with brass. To help encourage others toward a higher standard of giving, Aesculapius Club members give permission for their names to be included in an annual Honor Roll.

WPut ape he 1 htTa k ln 1838 the Georgia Railroad and Banking Co planned a major depot an Decatur Georgia at the terminus of the only railroad west However some people thought that the noise ofthe train would disturb their cows and frighten their chickens and would result ln lowering the quality of their dairy and poultry products Because of this our company moved the location of the new depot sux miles to the west to a town called Marthasvxlle later known as Atlanta Atlanta has come a long way since Georgia Railroad built that first depot And so has The Georgia. Today we're one of the major banks in Georgia. And like in those early railroad days we are reaching out to help people meet their financial needs. We've also been reaching out to make life a little easier with 14 convenient locations in Augusta. Helping is more than a tradition with us. lt's what's kept us growing for 142 years. And, it's what helped put The Georgia on the right track. Georgia Railroad Bank 8: Trust Augusta, Georgia Member I-1D.l.C.
