A-35 team had a social at Taco Mac on May 14. Katie Reilley organized
the event, and students from Clark Atlanta University joined them. In
recognition of National Transportation Week, Georgia Governor Sonny
Purdue proclaimed Georgia Transportation Week. Members of the Atlanta
Chapter were invited to his office for the signing of the proclamation
on May 19. The monthly chapter meeting was held on May 21 in Powder
Springs, GA, at the American MagLev Technology (AMT) test track. Members
toured the facility, received a capabilities and program brief from AMT
CEO Tony Morris, and saw an operational maglev train. Mr. Morris
described how magnetic levitation technology can help reduce costs and
in regional transit systems. The next significant chapter event is the
annual Scholarship Golf Tournament, scheduled for July 11 at The
Golfer's Club on Fort McPherson.
