This Week's Speakers
Help Us Celebrate Laws of Life

Join us at the AC Hotel this Friday to hear inspiring words from this year's Laws of Life essay contest winners. Our own George Stewart has been a driving force in the Georgia Laws of Life program and will start us off with some words about the program. Then be ready for inspiration from some North Springs High School winners.

Our club has been a long-time and enthusiastic Laws of Life sponsor, where high school students have an opportunity each year to write about a life event or person who has helped to shape them as individuals - each with a quote or phrase they select as their theme. We have provided prize money, served on the Board and judged essays since the program's start in Georgia. At District conference in March, we were excited to hear from last year's winner of the George Stewart award.

 

Service Opportunity
Dunwoody Arts Festival This Weekend!

“AS ALWAYS, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!”  Those words of appreciation come from festival organizers Cindy Flynn, Frances Schube and Tanya Moore, the Splash Festivals team, when referring to Rotary volunteers who help with logistics for the Dunwoody Art Festival.   Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in the 14th annual Dunwoody Art Festival in Dunwoody Village. Rotary’s presence and support is appreciated and recognized by festival organizers, artists and visitors.  Thanks for making it happen.

If by some chance you have not signed up, check in with Matthew Johnson about spending some time in the RCD booth at the festival. 

And whether you're volunteering or not, take a stroll through the Festival on Saturday or Sunday, and stop by the booth to say hello.

Golf Tournament Update
FORE! the Memories Tournament Tees Off May 13, 2024

With less than one week to go, we only have a couple of asks in this last bulletin before Monday's tournament! #1: Please pray for good weather!!!

Aside from that:
  • We could still use a few foursomes if you know of anybody looking to play!
  • Make sure Rick Woods has all your golfer information and send your sponsor and golfer payments to Carter Stout.
  • Contact Alison Norris if you wish to volunteer.
  • If you bought a Ken Levy wood cellphone stand for $50, you are a Participating Sponsor so please let Bob O’Brien know so we can add you to the website.
  • All the tournament details are now also on the landing page of the tournament website for easy reference - as a reminder that's FORE! The Memories – Rotary Club of Dunwoody Charity Golf Tournament (rcdgolftournament.com) Thanks to everyone for the support of this, our major fundraiser for the year!

And again, think sunshine - no rain Monday!
