Our Rotary Foundation
Good News About Doing Good!

We will be giving you a full update on 2020-21 contributions to The Rotary Foundation (TRF) in next month's newsletter, but for now we have a few highlights:

Congratulations to Our Leading Clubs

PDG Kirk Driskell recognized these clubs for leading the way - all for both total and per capita Foundation giving in 2020-21:

    Category I: Emory Druid-Hills, runner-up Muscogee

• Category II: Lake Spivey/Clayton County, runner-up Sandy Springs
• Category III: Vinings Cumberland, runner-up Dunwoody
• Category IV: Peachtree City, runner-up Thomasville
• Category V: Roswell, runner-up Atlanta

 TRF District Designated Funds Support 2021-22 Work in Our Communities

As Grants Chair Anne Glenn reported last week, The Rotary Foundation has approved our 2021-22 district grant application for District Designated Funds (DDF). This means that clubs can move ahead with their District Grant Projects. We look forward to hearing about how you are making a difference in your communities.

Welcome to Hinako Unno!

As our District's first inbound Global Grant Scholar in many years, Hinako arrived last week from Japan. Hinako will be attending Emory's Rollins School of Public Health to earn her Master's Degree and her special area of interest is Mental Health. The Rotary Club of Dunwoody is hosting Hinako for her two-year degree program.
