Your To Do Checklist for This Friday
When you're getting ready for this Friday's meeting, check on these five items:
- Is your GPS set for Maggiano's at Perimeter Mall, 4400 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., Dunwoody? That's where this Friday's meeting takes place (next week back to Embassy Suites) and you don't want to miss Buzz Law's presentation.
- Do you canned goods or non-perishables to donate to Dunwoody Elementary's Souper-Bowl? See story below.
- Do you have a printed copy of your survey responses with you? If not, take 15 minutes to complete the survey at Rotary Club of Dunwoody - Member Survey (Jan 10, 2025), then print a copy to turn in at Friday's meeting. Note, if you completed and were able to successfully submit the survey online, you can skip #3.
- Have you signed up yet to host for the GRSP leadership weekend? See Jackie or Meredith at the meeting Friday.
- Be sure you have May 19 on your calendar - the fourth annual Fore the Memories golf tournament! See the article below.
Hope to see you Friday!

Remembering Former Member Bill Kelly
The Rotary Club of Dunwoody learned this week of the passing of former member and now Buckhead Rotarian Bill Kelly. His obituary opened by saying Bill never took for granted what mattered most in his life and what he was blessed to have: a loving family and, later in life, the rewards of service. A service of celebration for Bill's life will be held Monday, January 27 at 2 p.m. at The Cathedral of St. Philip, 2744 Peachtree Road NW, Atlanta GA 30305 (Buckhead). Visitation in Child Hall will follow. A gift in Bill's memory may be made to The Cathedral of St. Philip or cathedralATL.org [read more]
