We will not be meeting this Friday, August 30, in honor of the Labor Day Holiday. We hope that you and your family have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend, and look forward to seeing you at Rotary next Friday morning, when we can all learn more about Be the Voice.
Please join us September 14 for a night of merriment, good food and a wonderful entertainment spectacular: Meredeth Wilson's The Music Man at the City Springs Theater in Sandy Springs. We checked the online box office this morning and there are still a few tickets left for the Saturday night performance. You can call the theater at (404) 477-4365 or go online to buy tickets.
We will meet for dinner at Aldo's Italian Restaurant, 6690 Roswell Rd., NE. Sandy Springs, Ga 30328 at 5:45 pm. Please RSVP for dinner to Sherry Levy at sherrylevy13@hotmail.com.
Thirty eight years ago, Charlie and Anita Augello opened E 48th Street Market in Dunwoody. Fast forward to today, and they're not just running Georgia's Best Deli (as recognized by Taste of Home) – they are pillars of our community!
Charlie first became aware of Rotary while in high school and then shortly after he started his restaurant, a couple customers invited him to attend a Rotary meeting. Back then, he was focused on his new business and couldn't commit to joining a club. By 2009 the restaurant was established, and he was looking to get involved in a way that gives back to the community that has been such a part of his success.
His favorite activity through the years
has been working with USO and then more recently helping to start Anchor Place
Respite Dunwoody. He especially likes how the finances support local and also international causes and recognizes that through Rotary, your donation dollars go a
long way. Charlie likes the social events and hopes the club continues to find
reasons to get together for dinners and other events.
In recognition of their incredible
contributions, club president Jack Sparks created the "Charlie and Anita
Augello People of Action Award" in June 2024. This annual award will
celebrate members who passionately improve Dunwoody and the world.
