Help Us Shine as a Silver Sponsor of the Dunwoody Parade!

Have you ever stood along the crowded streets of Dunwoody on Independence Day, watched the vibrant parade roll by, and thought, “I wonder who builds those floats?” or “How can I be a part of that magic?"  Now is your opportunity! The Rotary Club of Dunwoody is carrying out a fun-filled, 30+ year club tradition, and we need every hand on deck to make this year’s participation an overwhelming success. This year, our impact is bigger than ever: RCD is proud to be a Silver Sponsor of the City of Dunwoody’s Fourth of July Parade. To honor this commitment and showcase our vibrant club to the community, we need a strong, enthusiastic showing of volunteers.

From Your Fundraising Team
A Look at What's Coming/Request for Your Ideas

Your golf tournament committee heads are meeting this week to debrief our event as best we can with many people traveling or very busy. There will be a quick recap of the event at this week‘s regular meeting.

It’s also time to start thinking about the Whiskey Raffle and work has already begun on Whiskey Tastings, and other ways to keep this fundraiser top of mind all the way through the November or December drawing.

There has been some talk about having an auction at the transition dinner each year (just restaurant gift cards like the golf tournament) or a raffle (like 50/50), so please send your thoughts to Bob O’Brien on this idea. Basically, would you want an auction at our annual dinner?

Wine Fellowship
Join Us for a Mid-Summer Wine Fellowship

Marion and Austin Bunch are inviting us to gather at their home amidst their balcony garden for a mid-summer Wine Fellowship on Sunday, July 12 from 4-6 pm. The Bunches will provide soft drinks and a fresh shrimp platter.  Guests should bring a bottle of wine and an appetizer to share. We had such a large crowd last year that our table was filled with the best appetizers you can imagine! The event will take place at PLAZA TOWERS, 2575 Peachtree Rd. NE, unit 20 E, Atlanta. The building has a wide driveway and we will have valet service. It commands an amazing view of Atlanta, the perfect setting for fellowship with friends.
