Raise a Glass: Neal MacDonald Talks Spirited Dunwoody on Dunwoody Dialogues

Buy or Sell Tickets to Help Make This Event a Big Success!

Fellow Rotarian Neal MacDonald recently joined host Mark Galvin on Dunwoody Dialogues, the video interview series produced by Discover Dunwoody, to talk about Spirited Dunwoody, our club's whiskey tasting fundraiser.  Watch the full episode by clicking here. 

Neal shared how whiskey became a Rotary tradition in Dunwoody, what guests can look forward to tasting this year, and why you don't need to be an expert to enjoy the evening. He also talked about our partnership with Dunwoody Beverage and where the money goes. Last year's whiskey fundraiser raised about $10,000 for the club's work in our community.

How you can help:

• Get your tickets for the Thursday, November 19 whiskey tasting at spiriteddunwoody.com - $100 each
• Buy raffle tickets before November 19 to have a chance at a Van Winkle Special Reserve 12-year Bourbon Whiskey valued at $1,200 ($10/ticket or 7 for $50)
• Spread the word by sharing the episode with friends who love a good pour and a good cause

Thanks, Neal, for everything you pour into this event. Cheers to Connect, Serve, Grow!
