As you know, we are well underway in our plans to host our 2nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament, which will take place on May 15, 2023, at the prestigious St. Marlo Country Club in Duluth, GA. The headline charity for this event is "The Longest Day" which supports the Alzheimer's Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funding for Alzheimer's disease research. The tournament also benefits many of our efforts in the community, including the USO, Kingsley School Thanksgiving Harvest baskets, Dresden Elementary, CAC-Community Assistance Center, and Malachi’s Kitchen.

DeKalb Rotary Council Breakfast on March 31
You are in for a special treat at the end of March - our annual gathering of the Rotarians from the eight Rotary Clubs of DeKalb County. We will honor Rotarians from those clubs for their achievements, and recognize teachers and their role in making a difference in our communities. Plan to join us on March 31 at Georgia Piedmont Technical College DeKalb Conference Center, 495 N Indian Creek Dr., Clarkston, GA 30021. Festivities begin at 7:00 am.
As part of the program, we have an amazing speaker: Paige Buzbee Pushkin, Executive Director of the Georgia Foundation for Public Education (GFPE) - an organization created by the state legislature with the mission of supporting “educational excellence for Georgia’s students.” This week Paige shared with us that she participated in a Rotary cultural exchange program in Argentina about 11 years ago, and is excited to be joining us to celebrate "Service Above Self."
Paige will be introduced by our own Honorary Member Buzz Law. Mark your calendar for March 31 and plan to celebrate with us! Note: This takes the place of Dunwoody's March 31 meeting.
