Congratulations Club of the Year!
We just returned from the District 6900 Conference where about 15 representatives from the Rotary Club of Dunwoody enjoyed a weekend at Lake Lanier learning, growing, and connecting with each other, Rotarians from other clubs, and guests from around the country and the world. And I'm pleased to say we were honored and delighted to receive the Club of the Year award in our size category (Category III). Thanks to all of you who helped make this happen.

From the Golf Course
Almost Time to Tee Up! Still Time to Help!
With just 26 days to go until golfers tee up for our FORE! the Memories Golf Tournament on May 18, we can still use your help in some key areas:
- Get your golfers signed up with Rick Woods - he needs their names, golf handicaps, phone number and email addresses. You can send by email to sdoowrm@gmail.com
- You can still be a sponsor - the Contributing, Donating & Participating categories as a simple way to support the event. We can never have too many sponsors - you can recruit organizations to be sponsors and/or sign up yourself on the website
- Be a volunteer the day of the tournament - Alison Norris is coordinating volunteers for the day and can answer your questions/sign you up!
- Donate items for the after-golf auction - Neal MacDonald would be happy to hear from you about an auction item.
- Visit the website - Everything is up to date and looks great thanks to Hoshi! Point potential sponsors and golfers there! www.rcdgolftournament.com.
- Pray for good weather - it never hurts to start early!
Service Opportunity
Volunteer for Special Olympics - May 23
Just like last year, we are a sponsor of the Summer Olympics event. On May 23, we have the opportunity to volunteer - supervising the swimming competition. If you were there last year, you’ll know how exciting and rewarding this is
Thomas Ritch, Chief Development Officer, Special Olympics, will be at our May 8 meeting to tell us more about the event and he’ll have Evan Hodge, one of the actual participants, with him. Rick Woods will have more information over the next few days about how to sign up for the event but please put it on your calendar to attend.
