Thanks for Your Service
From Books to Lunch Boxes to Sprucetanza ... We Get the Job Done!

In parallel universes last Friday, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody pulled off a two service project day - prepping books and packing lunches! And if that wasn't enough, we were back at it Saturday morning, with the Bounds Garden Sprucetanza! That following an amazing weekend at the Dunwoody Arts Festival, where the front page article in this week's Crier cited  the festival organizer as saying, “As usual, the Dunwoody Rotary Club volunteers were amazing with helping vendors load and unload.”

Those of you at our regular Friday morning meeting last week prepared 1,000+ books that will be given this week to each and every student at Dresden and Kingsley Elementary Schools. This year, our bookplates encouraged students to "Enjoy Summer" ... in most years they have a holiday message because the books are distributed in December.  Veteran book "guru" Roy Ethridge led our efforts at the meeting; District Governor Elect Mary Ligon joined in the fun; Jack Sparks coordinated the overall project but couldn't be with us on Friday.

And while the books were prepared, a separate Dunwoody Rotary crew was makin, sandwiches and packing 85 lunchboxes for the USO - led by Charlie Augello. The lunch crew included Carl Giametta, Jennie Stipick, Nick Augello, Bob O'Brien and Dottie Toney.

And Ranger Fred led a team at the Bounds Garden traffic garden Saturday morning as they spruced the place up! Thanks to Tina Philpott, Jim Riticher, Rick Otness and of course, Ranger Fred!
