Support Our Fundraiser
Exclusive Whiskey & Cigar Pairing Raffle

Last week, we launched a new fundraiser -  our first ever Whiskey & Cigar Pairing Raffle. This is your chance to win an exclusive bottle of whiskey that is paired with a hand rolled cigar that was rolled just for us. All proceeds from the raffles will go to the Dunwoody Rotary Club’s Charitable Fund - supporting the work we do in our community and around the world. Thanks to the fundraising committee - especially Hoshi Daruwalla, Bob O'Brien, Rick Woods (for the website) and Freddy Morello (social media) - for their hard work on this!

We need YOUR help - buying tickets of course, but more importantly, sharing this with friends,  family and business associates who might be interested in this unique opportunity. We have posted a flyer you can download from here to distribute - and you can share the information through social media

Remember, individuals MUST be 21 years old to participate.

Celebrate the Work of Clubhouse Atlanta

You're invited to join in the one year anniversary celebration for Clubhouse Atlanta, an inviting place for adults with Mental Illness that gives them Respect, Dignity and Courage to reach their potential as valued and contributing members of their community. Our own Freddy Morello is the Clubhouse's Executive Director and will be sharing its story with us at the end of October.

In the meantime, consider stopping by this outdoor event and whether you'd be interested in supporting the fundraising efforts linked to this first anniversary. The organization is growing and serving more people every day, and its Campaign for Growth is targeting $75,000 in new donations. You can learn more about Clubhouse Atlanta and make a contribution at https://www.clubhouseatlanta.org/. And don't miss Freddy's presentation on October 29.
