Dennis Crean Laws of Life Essay Contest

This Fall, 2016, Marie Crean, presented a $100,000 check to the Rotary International Foundation from the Estate of Dennis M. Crean. Dennis was a member of the Rotary Club of Dunwoody, GA for the past 20 years and was a friend of many. On behalf of the Crean family, Marie writes, "The Rotary members are our extended family and were a tremendous support at Dennis's passing. Our family is grateful to be able to support the work of Rotary around the world." The bequest will establish the Dennis M. and Marie A. Crean Endowment Fund in support of Disease Prevention and Treatment.

Each year Rotarian George Stewart and a team of approximately 15 volunteers ensure financial support for scholarships for the Laws of Life Essay Contest in our area schools. The Dennis Crean weekly raffle funds the scholarship drawings each week, and George coordinates the volunteers in our club to support the essay contest submission readings. The winners of the local contest read their essays at a club program in May.
