From Our Club President
Some Updates and Thoughts as We Move Ahead ...

Greetings Dunwoody! And thanks again for your commitment and support of all that we do. I wanted to share a couple of things with you:

  • Meetings will change: This week we will have our last live meeting at the Dunwoody Country Club. They have been a great partner to us over the last few months - and we appreciate what they have done to help us meet in person by opening their doors to us with just a 25-meal minimum. However, they have advised us (since we established the pandemic dues rate) that their finances don't allow them to continue at this level and that the new minimum will be 40 meals. Given our current live attendance level is running about 15-20, we are going to explore new options. After this Friday's meeting, we will move to Zoom only through the month of February. If you have ideas about places to meet, we'd love to have you share them.
  • We will continue to pursue acts of kindness and projects that make a difference: We helped out with yardwork at Bill Mulkey's home last Saturday (the crew pictured here), and as you'll see in this bulletin, we're continuing our work at the Community Assistance Center and Dunwoody Nature Center. We are investing again in Yemariam Workneh's education at Oglethorpe - through a combination of money we had set aside for GRSP this year (the program took a break this year because of COVID-19) and generous contributions from some of our members. We're highlighting opportunities to help judge Laws of Life essays and to learn more about how we can help end human trafficking , and taking advantage of Rotary Zones 33-34 initiative for helping individuals prepare and search for jobs - all opportunities you can access from home. 

I look forward to seeing you Friday - whether it's online or via Zoom - and at our service events as you feel you can join us. 

Thanks for all you do!

President Ardy
