This Week's Meeting
Club Assembly
Join us at Fleming's on Friday for our final club assembly of this Rotary Year. President Rick will lead the discussion and focus on three things: the budget, membership and fund raising. Each of these will take about 10 minutes which leaves ample time for comments. If any member has a particular topic that they'd like to discuss please email President Rick (sdoowrm@gmail.com) and let him know the subject. Please attend as this is an important meeting.
Rotaract Club of Atlanta Urban Tree Cidery Tour, Mixer with Dunwoody Rotary Club Tomorrow Night
The Rotaract Club of Atlanta invites you to join in its last Rotary meeting of the year this Thursday, June 20. Rotaractors will be meeting at the Urban Tree Cidery at 1465 Howell Mill Road NW, Atlanta, from 7-9 pm - and the event includes a tour of the cidery. Rotaract hopes to have a few representatives from our Rotary Club join us as well for maximum networking. Come and have a great time networking!
Bob Freeman has donated Cidery vouchers for the Rotaractors. This is a great complement to last week's presentation as it will allow members of both clubs to interact with each other. RSVP is encouraged but not necessary. You can signup at the meetup.com event.

Calling All Bakers - Start Baking to Support Our July 4 Hotdog Booth and Bake Sale
In keeping with our 20+ year tradition, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody will have a hot dog booth at Dunwoody's annual Fourth of July Celebration. And, as in most recent years, with your help we plan to sell baked goods - cookies, brownies, any finger food dessert that can be packaged in a sandwich size or snack size Ziploc bag and sold for $1.00.
Les Woulfin is baking; so is our GRSP student Mathilde Illum. You can bring your creations to our hot dog stand in Dunwoody Village on the morning of July 4 (we'd like to have them no later than 9:00 a.m. so we can have them onn display andready for sale when the parade comes into the Village. Or, we'll determine a drop off place before the 4th and let you know!
Any money we make on hot dogs and baked goods will be added to the money we have to fund our good work in the community!
Not a baker? There are plenty of opportunities to help … from assembling the float to walking in the parade to working in the hot dog stand - all take place the morning of July 4 and leave the entire afternoon free to enjoy the holiday..
Parade with Us on July 4
Our new members - with support from Past Presidents Jennie Stipick and Jackie Cuthbert - have revived our long-time Dunwoody tradition of marching in the Dunwoody Fourth of July parade. We have a fabulous float planned and trinkets to pass out along the parade route … and we'd love to have more Dunwoody Rotarians, partners, kids and grandkids to join us in spreading the word that the Rotary Club of Dunwoody has been Connecting the World for 35 years!
There are also opportunities to work in our Hot Dog Stand … another great Dunwoody tradition!
Contact Jennie Stipick if you want to take to the parade route - or Kobelah Bennah to help with the hot dog stand. (See the article that follows about baked goods too.)
Did You Know Ardy Has Been Married 111 Years?
Did you know that Ardy and Lydie Bastien have been married since 1896 - we probably should congratulate him on 111 years of marriage. What?
