This Week's Speaker
Camille Charmetant, Rotary Youth Exchange Student



Camille Charmetant is the Rotary Youth Exchange student sponsored by the Rotary Club of Dunwoody for the 2022-23 school year.  Camille is from Esneux, Belgium, near Liege.  She attends an English immersion high school in Liege.  She speaks four languages:  French, English, Dutch and Latin.  Camille is the middle of three siblings.  She loves animals, especially horses. 

 

Camille is a junior at Dunwoody High School during her exchange year..  She currently lives with Erica, Neil, Brennan, and Jude Anstey.  She will be living with Jack and Marcella Sparks and their family beginning in December.  She is enjoying her stay in the United States and is excited to share more about her life in Belgium with us on October 14!

VIBE after FIVE at Spruill Gallery Update

The Rotary Club of Dunwoody sponsored an evening at the Spruill Gallery as part of Dunwoody Perimeter Chamber's monthly networking series. The club provided food and drink for about 25 chamber members who networked with each other, browsed the artwork at the gallery, heard from Alan Mothner, CEO of Spruill Center for the Arts, and learned about Rotary from Jennifer Shumway. Nine Rotary club members supported the event and the club looks forward to sponsoring events in conjunction with the Dunwoody Perimeter Chamber again in the future. You can find more information about the event here.

Whiskey Raffle Update

There's still time to participate in the raffle ahead of the October 20th Drawing. Most of these tickets were purchased by our own members so we need to spread the word using the QR cards to other people you may know such as family, friends, business acquaintances, etc. You can leave these behind at any Dunwoody restaurant or pubs you may visit with the proprietor’s permission. We have some at Porter’s Brew & Que, E.48th Street Market, The Dunwoody Tavern, Mail Center, Etc., Dunwoody Country Club and Orchard Park Cleaners so far. The biggest problem we face in fund-raising after a successful year is complacency and the feeling that these are automatically successful. They are not. Success comes from your engagement, involvement and support. Please help us! Our first raffle of 2022 features two bottles of bourbon from distilleries local to Atlanta.
The first is ShortBarrel Toasted 101, a small batch Kentucky Bourbon aged a few long Kentucky summers, re-barreled in new traditional medium toasted barrels for a minimum of 21 days. The result - is a pleasantly balanced toasted bourbon with just the right amount of vanilla, candy and sweet oak flavor. Bottled at 101 proof this bourbon will surely become a staple on any bar. 
The second is from the Distillery of Modern Art, a very new distillery. The bottle is a corn whiskey that is being distilled at the present time. We can't say for certain that the bottle will be ready at the time of the drawing, but if it isn't, a gift certificate will be provided for later pickup.
