Golf Tournament Update
It's Almost Time to Tee Off for Our Second Annual Golf Tournament

We're just about ready for Dunwoody's second annual FORE the Memories Golf Tournament on May 15 at the prestigious St. Marlo Country Club in Duluth, GA. Our golf spots are full - and we have many sponsors on board.

We may have room for a few more volunteers - check in with Dottie Toney Ransom if you'd like to volunteer. And you can always visit the tournament website or contact Rick Woods if you'd like to make a contribution to this fund-raising effort. Your support will benefit the Alzheimer's Association and other charities we support in the Dunwoody Community.

Watch for more information early next week in a special edition of the weekly bulletin.

District Conference 2023
SanDestin was the Rotary Place to Be Last Weekend!

We had a great time in SanDestin last weekend - these photos just show a small part of the fun as we enjoyed Green Acres and fellowship with friends. We hosted a hospitality suite with Sandy Springs that welcomed many of our District friends. Ask Meredith about her vintage hat - all part of Friday night's Green Acres costume event.

The club was recognized for Best Foundation giving and President Jennifer received her District Governor's citation for a job well done! 

We had 16 members of our Dunwoody Rotary family there - including Camille, our Rotary Youth Exchange student, and Shashwat, this year's GRSP student.
