Rick Otness, This Year's William M. Mulkey Greater Giving Award Recipient
In 2015, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody established the William M. Mulkey Greater Giving Award, an annual award to honor a Dunwoody Rotarian for exemplary work on behalf of The Rotary Foundation, the Club and its Charitable Fund. This year, we honor Rick Otness for all he has done to support all our initiatives. Join us in congratulating Rick - pictured here with wife Maureen at one of the many club fundraisers he helped support - from RunDunwoody and the Governor's Ball to the barbecue and a Polio Plus fundraiser. And for all he has done to keep us well organized and ready to do good in the community;
Thank You!
Your Generosity Will Make a Difference
Thanks to all of us, the Marines will make many children happy in this year's Toys for Tots giveaway. After the holiday luncheon, we filled a truck with six bikes - and bags and bags of toys. A special thanks to Jim and Janet Glass for their continued leadership on this project.
And to share a little recap from President Jack's holiday letter, we're celebrating that we continue to Create Hope in the World via our collective good deeds:
- Providing more than 100 backpacks for children in Tapestri's programs
- Delivering equipment to people with disabilities through FODAC
- Welcoming US soldiers back home at the Hartsfield Jackson USO
- Sponsoring a new GRSP student - Ahmed - and supporting Rotary Youth Exchange, Dunwoody High School Interact and Scholarship programs, Character Counts, the Laws of Life, and books for Dresden and Kingsley Elementary, as well as Thanksgiving baskes at Kingsley
- Cleaning up the Dunwoody Nature Center and Bounds Gardens
- Helping the victims of the Maui fire
- Starting a much-needed affordable Respite Care Facility here in Dunwoody
- Bringing water to schools in Nepal that have none
For 40 years, our club has done a lot and it all starts with one person who sees a need and begins to take action. Thank you for being Rotary people of action!
