A Few Things to Know About Dunwody Rotary and Anchor Place
You should already know that part of the FORE! the Memories golf tournament proceeds will go to Anchor Place Respite Care in Dunwoody. You should should also know:
- We're working hard and having fun at Anchor Place - every Monday and Thursday. Just ask Dunwoody volunteers Fred Bounds, Ron and Louise Barden, Tina Philpott, Les Woulfin and Jackie Cuthbert.
- Want to volunteer? Anchor Place will hold volunteer training on May 6 from 10 am to noon. Contact Mary Cohen if you'd like to be part of that training.
- A big celebration is being planned - Anchor Place will soon mark its one year anniversary and we're planning a big picnic on June 14. Watch for more details!
- We're planning an art project at Anchor Place that will require LOTS of plastic bottle caps - save all sizes and colors (ask your friends to help) and bring them with you to Rotary! We will need a lot of BLUE caps to make an Anchor - milk offers a good source of blue!
