This Week's Speaker
Dunwoody President Elect Matthew Johnson
Join us this Friday at the Embassy Suites as our president elect, Matthew Johnson, shares his vision of the 2025-26 Rotary Year for the Rotary Club of Dunwoody.
For those of you who missed Dave Burr's "Getting to Know You" profile of Matthew last August, here's a little information about our incoming President.
Matthew started his career as a music teacher, and 15 years decided to start law school. He continued teaching full time and
spent the next four years attending Georgia State University College of Law part
time. He has practiced law since 2015, focusing on domestic relations and
family law. Shortly after becoming an attorney, Matthew realized he had
more flexibility in his schedule and wanted to connect more with his local
community. He reached out to his neighborhood's Facebook group and asked
if anyone was familiar with a local Rotary club. He joined our club in
September 2020 during the middle of COVID.
Matthew's favorite club activity has been preparing the
books for Dresden. He wants our club to perform more projects like preparing
books for Dresden or backpacks for Tapestri, enjoyable activities where members
get together, form connections, and complete the entire project.
Matthew, his wife, Jill, and their daughters, Loren and Abigail, live in Dunwoody. The photo shows the family on vacation in Maine last summer.
NOTE: This is our last meeting at the Embassy Suites. Next week - June 19 - is our end of the year celebration at the Dunwoody Country Club. And on June 27, we will meet at our new Friday morning home, Maggiano's at Perimeter Mall.
Anchor Place
We are Still Collecting Plastic Bottle Caps!
We're still collecting plastic bottle caps for a mid-summer art project at Anchor Place. We know we will need LOTS - save all sizes and colors of plastic bottle caps (ask your friends to help) and bring them with you to Rotary! We especially need BLUE caps to make an Anchor - milk offers a good source of blue!
You can bring any bottle caps you have already collected to the meeting this Friday - or bring them on a future Friday. Any of our Anchor Place volunteers - Jackie Cuthbert, Fred Bounds, Tina Philpott, Louise or Ron Barden - would be happy to take them off your hands!
