Thank You for Your Service
You Helped Make the Dunwoody Arts Festival a Great Event!

It was, indeed, a pleasure to serve with you last weekend, as Dunwoody Rotarians, families and friends helped make the 14th annual Dunwoody Art Festival a winning community event.  With your help, Dunwoody Village was transformed into a vibrant artist market filled with fun and creativity.  The Sunday night team bid farewell to our artist friends while facilitating an orderly exit, returning Dunwoody Village to its familiar surroundings as a meeting place for businesses and residents.  Rotarians at the RCD exhibit greeted the public, telling the Rotary story, inviting many to consider ways to put Rotary in their lives.  Together, you helped the artists and enhanced community awareness of Rotary.

A special thanks to Erin Myersbeck, recipient of the Rotary Youth Exchange scholarship.  Erin helped artists with set-up on Friday night and, on Saturday, promoted Rotary Youth Exchange to the community at the RCD exhibit. Representing Atlanta Rotaract, Bram Altunian returned for the second year to help with Sunday night festival breakdown. Special thanks go to Jennifer Shumway for bringing coffee and treats to early Saturday morning volunteers. So much appreciated, Jennifer!

The festival organizers had this to say, "To the Dunwoody Rotary Club (led by Kathy Brandt), you are truly the Dream Team.  You help every spring, and we consider you family. It’s always so comforting to see you on Friday night and early Saturday morning – we know that you have everyone’s back."
