Thanks for Your Service
Bounds Garden All Spruced Up!

Thanks to Rick Otness, Ranger Fred Bounds, Bob O'Brien and Dave Burr (who left before the photo) for keeping Bounds Garden a picture-perfect part of Dunwoody! As Fred explained last Friday, this traffic island on Chamblee Dunwoody across from the library has been a Rotary Club of Dunwoody project since former member Monroe Brock got us started more than 20 years ago. Mark your calendar now for Saturday, October 22!

Here's to Fellowship !
Dunwoody Wine Fellowship Enjoys North Georgia Mountains

Last Saturday, 12 of us headed to the vineyards of North Georgia - including President Jennifer and Jud Shumway, George and Amy Stewart, Tina and David Philpott, Ed and Judy Holliday, Jackie Cuthbert, Cathie Brumfield, Carter Stout and his friend Luke. We sampled wines with crazy names ... from Sassy Sisters to Social Goat at Cartecay Vineyards (owned by Susan Schwall's nephew) and Fainting Goat Winery, and enjoyed a delightful lunch in between in downtown Ellijay. It was great just spending time together.

Thanks to Carter Stout for organizing the trip, and to Jud Shumway, David Philpot and Cathie Brumfield for driving. Watch for upcoming news about the Dunwoody Wine Fellowship!

Coming Soon ...

September marks the launch of our second whiskey raffle - the "Exclusive Whiskey Raffle." Watch for the launch of our raffle website - still under development and testing.

We will have three new whiskey-bourbons to raffle off and will be looking to sell 150 tickets for each segment with drawings taking place on Thirsty Thursday in October, November and December. Proceeds will our General Fund for community activities, projects and support.

The three spirits are:

• Weller 12 valued @ $350 and we want to sell 150 tickets @ $20 each

No cigar pairing this time. More to come about QR cards, tent cards and social media marketing plans.

Caring Hands
Update on Teak

After our Rotary trip to North Georgia wineries yesterday, our designated driver David Philpot took us to Northside Cherokee Hospital on the way home.  Tina and George went in to see Teak and witness the signing of his medical directive. He looked well, but his feet and legs were very swollen and the injuries on his feet due to wearing compression hose for too long are still not completely healed.

Teak plans to go home when released rather than to another rehab facility.  He appreciates getting calls on his cell phone (404-256-2724).
