Service Opportunity
Put Toys for Tots on Your Early Holiday Shopping List!

We are excited to be supporting the Marines and their annual Toys for Tots campaign again this year. Everyone is being encouraged to shop early for Christmas this year because of issues in the supply chain - and we'd like to encourage you to do early shopping too! When we gather for our Holiday luncheon on Friday, December 10, we'll be collecting bikes, toys and games to help make this holiday season great for needy local youth! You will also be able to drop off your Toys for Tots gifts even if you're not attending the luncheon live - more details on that as we move into December!

Contact Jim Glass if you have any questions.

Wine Fellowship
Wine at Sunset on the Pavillion at St. Patrick's - November 10

Fellowship Opportunity
Dunwoody High Theater and Dinner ... November 14

The Rotary Club of Dunwoody is sponsoring the Dunwoody High Wildcat Theatre productions this year with a half-page ad in the playbills for their fall and spring productions.

Fall features William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, a comedy tells the tale of siblings shipwrecked and separated.

Some of us plan to attend the Sunday, November 14 performance at 2 pm and have supper afterwards at Carbonara’s.

If you are interested, please click here to buy your theatre tickets online. We recommend the green center area. We hope that our club will be recognized before the performance.

Let Louise Barden know if you want to go to supper afterwards; she will make the dinner reservations.

Join us for theatre, supper or both - your choice!
