This Week's Speaker
Sherry Boston, DeKalb County District Attorney

Join us this Friday, September 12 at Maggiano's to welcome Sherry Boston, DeKalb County District Attorney.

Whiskey Raffle Update
Gathering Week #2: Check Out Dunwoody Beverage and Bottle Registry for Ideas!

We are now in the second week of gathering bottles of whiskey and other collectible spirits for the raffle. It is very important that we reach our prize pool goal in order to market and sell tickets in October and November!

 

We have a bottle registry!

It’s a great way to support our fundraiser, especially if you’re (rightfully) intimidated by the thought of sifting through dozens and dozens of whiskey labels with opaque labels and marketing jargon. Take a look at items on the registry ... [more]
