This Week's Meeting
Celebrating The Rotary Foundation - Jennie Stipick, Club Foundation Chair
Join us this Friday, October 13, when our own Past President Jennie Stipick talks about the power of The Rotary Foundation. Our club has witnessed this firsthand through our participation in many of the Foundation's programs. In 2015-16, we became a Million Dollar Club - and today our lifetime contributions have well exceeded that number.
Jennie has served in a variety of roles at the Rotary Club of Dunwoody - including Club President. She is a Past Chair of the DeKalb Rotary Council, a past Assistant Governor, and an active supporter of the Rotary Youth Exchange Program - and currently serves as our Foundation Chair.
In 2009, Jennie started her career as a financial advisor with Edward Jones, after a 23-year management career in the staffing industry. She earned a bachelor's degree in management from Louisiana State University. Jennie also earned her CFP® certification and currently teaches fundamentals of financial planning as an adjunct instructor at the University of Georgia in their evening Professional Planner program. Jennie also holds a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) designation.
Jennie and husband Mike live in Dunwoody, and they have two grown children and a grandbaby in Ohio. Daughter Vickie is an Ohio Rotarian and was honored by her club as Rotarian of the Year.
Our Time to Connect, Serve and Grow!

- Let's introduce Dunwoody Rotary to new people - and encourage them to become part of all that we do. As DG Andre said last week, the more hands we have, the more we can do to serve! Let's keep our membership pipeline full.
- Let's sell more whiskey raffle tickets - they help fund our problem-solving and hard work for others. Purchase now at Whiskey Raffle (whiskey-raffle.com) - the first drawing is only a week away!
- Let's be part of as many Rotary activities as we can - this week that includes wine tasting at Meghan's and Saturday morning clean-up at the Dunwoody Nature Center. The more time we invest, the more we strengthen the "together" - the friendships, fun and family that's been Dunwoody Rotary for nearly 40 years.

Join Us for Clean-Up at the Dunwoody Nature Center This Saturday, October 14
Plan to join us this Saturday - on October 14 - to help with some clean-up at the Dunwoody Nature Center. We'll plan to be there from 9:00 AM to about noon. The Center needs all the volunteers it can get to help with projects on the property - and your support can help us increase the impact we will have.
Go to the Dunwoody Nature Center website to sign up and complete a volunteer waiver. Wear your Dunwoody Rotary shirt, bring your water and gloves, and plan to enjoy fellowship with your club members and other volunteers!
Congratulations!
AJC Celebrates Augello Family and East 48th St. Market
We all know Charlie and Anita Augello are special people - and most of us love East 48th St. Market. This week, they were featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Click here to read the story. And think about what we could add - Charlie's work with the golf tournament, the Alzheimer's Association, the USO and so much more, and Anita's work with Kingsley Elementary School. Thanks Anita and Charlie!
