Fellowship Opportunity
Join Dunwoody Diners and Support Ukraine Relief - April 2

The next Dunwoody Diners will happen at 7 PM on Saturday, April 2 - tomorrow, March 31, is the last day to sign up for an evening of fun and food at Aomi Restaurant (hibachi) in The Forum on Peachtree Parkway. This will be a special event since all diners will be asked to make a contribution (large or small) to the Rotary Ukraine Disaster Relief Fund.

For newer members, this is a great way to meet other members (and their significant others) in a relaxed setting. Conversation is casual, the is food good, and the cost is typically between $40-$50 per person (before tax and tip). These dinners allow you the opportunity to really get to know a few Rotarians much better than possible at our Friday meetings.

Restaurant: Aomi Restaurant (hibachi) in The Forum on Peachtree Parkway

Address: 5145 Peachtree Pkwy #470A, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092

Phone: (770) 840-8710

Please RSVP to either Ken or Sherry Levy by tomorrow, March 31, 2022, if you plan to attend.

Golf Tournament Update
Help Our Inaugural Golf Tournament Succeed

On May 16, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody will host the FORE! the Memories golf tournament at St. Marlo CC benefiting The Longest Day program of Alzheimer's of Georgia. We want every Dunwoody Rotarian to have a part in this event. For now, we're focused on the sponsorships; watch for volunteer opportunities soon - we will provide a list of volunteer opportunities and ask you to sign up in advance to help.

There are still opportunities to be a SPONSOR or find a Platinum or Gold sponsor or be one of 18 hole sponsors (we have ten and are looking for eight more). You also can participate as a contributing sponsor or a donating sponsor - at $250 or $100 respectively. Contact Rick Wood on sponsors at sdoowrm@gmail.com for more details.

Congratulations
Bob O'Brien and Lorri Christopher Honored at DeKalb Rotary Council

At last Friday's DeKalb Rotary Council breakfast, two Dunwoody Rotarians received special recognition:

• Bob O'Brien received the "Show Rotary Cares" award - honoring all he does for the club and community - including chairing this year's inaugural golf tournament and other fundraising efforts. Bob has been a Dunwoody Rotarian since October 2014. The "Show Rotary Cares" award is given in honor of our own PDG Bill Mulkey - reflecting the Rotary International theme when he served as DG.
• Lorri Christopher received the "You are the Key" award. One Rotarian is nominated by each of the DeKalb Rotary Council clubs and the awards committee selects the recipient. Lorri was honored for her key support to the DeKalb Rotary Council (where she serves as Treasurer), District 6900 (where she has served as an Assistant Governor and in other capacities) and GRSP (where she serves as Secretary of the Executive Committee). This award is given in honor of PDG Bob Grant from Stone Mountain - named for the RI theme his year as DG.

Congrats and THANK YOU to Bob and Lorri for all they do.

Service Opportunity
Join Us at the 12th Annual Dunwoody Arts Festival May 6-8

This Mother's Day Weekend ... May 6-8 ... come and help as we support the Dunwoody Arts Festival by assisting with artist check-in and host a booth of our own that helps us tell our story to the community and prospective new members. Our support for this significant community event will be instrumental in the event’s success.

We have three “asks” of you at this time:

1. If you are helping with Artist Check-in, please send Kathy Brandt your T-shirt size.
2. Please help spread the word. Invite  Rotarians, friends, family, co-workers and/or prospective members to join us. This event is truly a significant event. It is fun. It is a great opportunity to experience “Rotary In The Community and In Action” And, our volunteer service really is appreciated by artists and festival organizers, who give us public recognition for our volunteer effort  along with a complimentary, well-located exhibit space.
3. For additional sign-ups, please send Kathy name and contact information.

Note:  It takes hundreds of volunteers to stage this event, I have listed the artist set-up jobs as our top priority.  We can handle as many Rotarians and Friends of Rotary as we can identify. 

A Special Music Event ... May 1 at St. Patrick's Episcopal

St. Patrick’s Episcopal (where Rotarian Dick Game is the priest) is delighted to present a benefit concert on Sunday, May 1 at 7PM. Dr. Cagdas Soylar will present piano works by some of the great composers, with a string quartet and a choral ensemble from Dunwoody High School.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Buy your tickets on-line at tinyurl.com/stpatrickconcert  (Children under 10 years of age are free.) Desserts and drinks will be offered. Proceeds will benefit the church with a portion going to Ukraine relief efforts.
