Dunwoody Rotarians Support International Alzheimer’s Project
Dunwoody Rotarians (Charlie and Anita Augello, David and Tina Philpot, Ron and Louise Barden) attended the Multi Club Workshop (MCW) in Matera, Puglia, Italy, September 5-9, 2018. The RC of Dunwoody in partnership with the RC of Cesena presented a global grant to improve the care and treatment of individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s in Cesena, Italy.
The project will provide specialized equipment to improve physical and cognitive skills of those suffering from dementia and training of professional and family care-givers and students at the Technical High School of Cesena for Healthcare Professionals which will equip graduates for jobs in care facilities.In addition to the RC of Cesena and the RC of Valle del Savio, partners include the departments of psychology and architecture of Bologna University, and the First Aid Department of Cesena HospitalThe Multi Club Workshop was hosted by RC Matera and DG Donato Donnoli, D 2120.
Approximately 110 Rotarians from 15 clubs, 6 districts and 5 countries (Italy, UK, Russia, Germany, and USA) attended the workshop and evaluated eight global grants planned for Russia, Italy, Spain, Burundi, and Ethiopia. The Dunwoody Rotarians found the MCW a great way to evaluate International Projects and build International friendships.

Our Rotary Youth Exchange student, Mink, arrived!
Rotary Club of Dunwoody is going to be hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange Student from Thailand 
, Mink , who just arrived!
We are excited to see her often and share with her this experience!
And we are still looking for host families who want to share this awesome experience for 90 days, (for late February through May).
Hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange Student can be incredibly rewarding for your family, bringing an international experience directly into your home. Host families provide room and board and share their lives with the Rotary Youth Exchange Students, involving them in family, community, and cultural activities. The Rotary Club of Dunwoody is looking for host families for our inbound student for next year, Mink from Thailand.
If you’re willing to experience one of the largest programs in Rotary by sharing your home and learning about a new culture, or you know a family that would be interested, contact Mike Parks, Deb Shelles Cameron, Dottie Toney-Ransom, Tania Lopez, or Jennie Stipick.
What are the responsibilities of a host family?
To accept the exchange student as a new member of your family. The student will be governed not only by the rules of the program but by the rules of your household. You are responsible for the safety of the exchange student the same as for your own children. Although you might become a bit more of the soccer mom or dad for normal everyday activities, it is not your responsibility to act as a taxi service or a tour guide. Rotarians for the hosting club will be helping in these areas.
