Alison Norris is a long-time Dunwoody resident. You may have first heard of her when she owned Alison's Restaurant from 2010 to 2014 or more recently as a realtor with the Nabors Norris Real Estate Agency. She first became active with charitable causes when she founded The Tabitha Elizabeth Norris Foundation Inc. Bob O'Brien met her and her husband, Ron, at the Dunwoody Country Club and suggested that she would be a great Rotarian.

Alison realized she would like to serve as part of a larger group. The club inducted her in May 2023, she began volunteering immediately, starting with the golf tournament the following Monday. She has volunteered at nearly every club activity since. Her favorite activity was organizing the Tapestri project to prepare backpacks for over 100 kids starting school in Fall 2023. Somehow she managed to volunteer at all of these events even when she'd broken her back - she literally broke a vertebra last year and wore a brace for several weeks.

Alison is already in line to be our club president (2027-28); you'll see her each Friday as you come through the door as she serves in the role of club secretary. She is excited about our future, and would love to see more young families join our club as a family and volunteer with their children on our service projects.

The club recently awarded Alison with this year's "Show Rotary Care" Award for all her efforts during the past year. If you haven't already, please congratulate her for the award and thank her for her endless hours of service to the club.
