From Our Club President
Staying Connected
It's hard to believe it's almost the end of February - and almost a year since the pandemic moved us to mostly connecting with each other online. I am grateful that we have been able to continue working in our community - particularly through the Community Assistance Center and the Dunwoody Nature Center. And happy to announce that we will once again offer an in-person meeting opportunity starting next week - at Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter. See the information later in the bulletin - join us live if you'd like or continue with Zoom.
This week, our "sunshine" to start the meeting will include Yemariam Workneh who brings us a special song in honor of Black History Month. And we hope to share part of a clip from a 2018 Rotary International Convention presentation by a young Rotarian from Chicago - focused on peace building and inclusion. This same young man - Xavier Ramey - is featured in one of Rotary's special webinar series on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - we've included information here about upcoming speakers and how to register.

We are happy to announce that we will be trying a new venue for the month of March - Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter, 111 Perimeter Center West, Atlanta GA 30346. Le Meridien will serve a buffet breakfast with servers to prepare your plates and COVID-19 protection protocols in place.
