Ready, Set, Recruit
Order Your Rotary Business Cards Today ... It's On Us
Are you ready to promote your club and help us attract new members, new sponsors, new speakers, and new friends? As part of the club's fall membership drive, we want to provide every member with personalized business cards that show your involvement with the club, display Rotary's logo, and point prospects to online sources for more information. Members can share these cards whenever they dine at local restaurants, conduct business in the area, and interact with local community organizations, display the cards in their business, and hand out the cards when making their elevator speech to prospective members (we'll talk more about the elevator speech at an upcoming meeting).
Please reach out to Dave Burr (davidthomasburr@gmail.com) to request your business cards. Don't wait - our order needs to be finalized by August 31. So what does Dave need from you? [more]
Whiskey Raffle Update
Can You Spell Whiskey? Whisky? We N-E-E-D Your Help Lining Up Both
Whether it's whiskey or whisky, the Club needs your help in our third annual Whiskey Raffle where we hope to raise $10,000 in support of our charitable work for this year.
Next month we're kicking off our Raffle. How can you help? For now, by visiting your local liquor store TODAY and asking for a donation. After a few years of doing the raffle we've learned that the unusual or rare bottle generates more ticket sales. Some in-demand whiskeys include: Stag, Penelope, Parker's Whistle Pig and Blantons. Need more ideas: https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2023/08/the-american-whiskey-masters-2023-results/
Drawings will be held at each Thirsty Thursday in the months of October, November and December. So it is critical that we have our whiskeys lined up by the end of the month. Don't delay.
So which spelling is correct? BOTH. [more]

Dunwoody Needs Bakers and Volunteers for USO - September 21
You can enlist today for our upcoming day at the USO on September 21. You'll be upholding a long-time Dunwoody tradition. We need:
- Eight volunteers to help welcome and serve lunch to any active troops and veterans passing through Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on September 21 from 10 am - 3 pm, and
- Any and all bakers who would like to contribute home cooked cookies and brownies to go with that lunch.
Cookies should be delivered to the E. 48th Street Market on 09/18 & 19th, 2023. All home baked cookies will be bagged on volunteer day and each bag will have a label that reads "Dear Soldier, Thank you for your service. Enjoy this small token of appreciation made especially for you with love and prayers." Rotary Club of Dunwoody
Please contact Charlie Augello (italian@e48thstreetmarket.com) to volunteer or bake cookies.
We look forward to another very rewarding day that Rotarians demonstrate “Service above Self"
