From Our Club President
Staying Connected
It's hard to believe it's almost the end of February - and almost a year since the pandemic moved us to mostly connecting with each other online. I am grateful that we have been able to continue working in our community - particularly through the Community Assistance Center and the Dunwoody Nature Center. And happy to announce that we will once again offer an in-person meeting opportunity starting next week - at Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter. See the information later in the bulletin - join us live if you'd like or continue with Zoom.
This week, our "sunshine" to start the meeting will include Yemariam Workneh who brings us a special song in honor of Black History Month. And we hope to share part of a clip from a 2018 Rotary International Convention presentation by a young Rotarian from Chicago - focused on peace building and inclusion. This same young man - Xavier Ramey - is featured in one of Rotary's special webinar series on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - we've included information here about upcoming speakers and how to register.

New Meeting Place for March ... in Addition to Zoom
As you know, we took meetings totally to Zoom for the month of February and told you we would be looking at other options for meeting live. We are happy to announce that we will be trying a new venue for the month of March - Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter, 111 Perimeter Center West, Atlanta GA 30346. Le Meridien will serve a buffet breakfast with servers to prepare your plates and COVID-19 protection protocols in place.
