Hinako Unno is our Global Grant Scholar from Japan. She arrives tonight at 9:00 pm (airlines willing) from northern Japan. Hinako will be attending Emory's Rollins School of Public Health to earn her Master's Degree and her special area of interest is Mental Health.
Anne and Clark Glenn will pick her up tonight. She has not been vaccinated against COVID and tested negative yesterday. Since she is not vaccinated, she will be self quarantining in Anne and Clark's basement for seven days. After that we will arrange a vaccination and she moves into her apartment for school on August 7.
As you know, this isn't the way we like to welcome our international students. And to make things even worse, the Glenns will be out of town from Friday morning until Sunday evening to celebrate Good OLD Clark's Birthday with the family. Anne's great friend and neighbor Marcia Sandbach is on alert to help Hinako with anything she immediately needs.
Now, here's our ask of the Rotary Club members if at all possible.
Please let Anne know if you can volunteer to help us out - via email at adillardglenn@gmail.com or via mobile at 770-310-0504.
For the last two weeks, Jackie Cuthbert has been enjoying a visit from my first ever GRSP student - Gabriella Baron - who arrived in Georgia 20 years ago (family pictured with me above). Today, Gaby and her family live in Jersey City and her mom Carmen lives here in Atlanta. As Jackie's mentioned in last Friday's meeting, Gaby's nine-year old son Adrian said he'd like to join Rotary and help people - how old did you need to be to join?
All that to say being a GRSP host family is an awesome experience Jackie has hosted five and still keep in touch with them all. It's an extended family ... and we have the opportunity to instill the spirit of Rotary - fellowship, fun, doing good in the world - in each student we host.
We are looking for one or two Rotarians to be our host family for this year's student - Maro Innocent-Otolo from Nigeria. She will be arriving August 12 at Hartsfield-Jackson and living/studying at Oglethorpe. Like Yemariam, Maro comes to us directly through Oglethorpe as part of the GRSP Direct College Select program we helped pilot two years ago.
Being a host family includes:
Talk to Jackie Cuthbert, Lorri Christopher or Eleni Bafas if you want to know more.
Chris and Jane Gutschenritter will host the next meeting of the Dunwoody Wine Fellowship. Bring your partner and join us from 5:45 to 7:15 pm on August 10. Please bring a summer wine or an appetizer (finger food) to share.
If you're planning to attend, be sure to use this link to register on our website. You can also contact Chris or Jane directly to RSVP. Space is limited (about 10-12 spots open) so sign up now!
