From Our Club President
In Honor of Those Who Serve
I don't know about you, but I've been thinking November is a special month - a time to celebrate
- our Veterans, whose service and sacrifice mean so much to who we are as a country.
- our Families and Friends, as we look to Thanksgiving later this month.
- our ability to help those in need and support our community - for our club in particular, through volunteering at the Community Assistance Center, Malachi's Storehouse and the Dunwoody Nature Center and contributing to the Harvest Baskets for families at Kingsley Elementary
- our Rotary Foundation, that helps us work together to make a big difference in the world - whether that's through our commitment to eradicate Polio, our projects here in the community, or having a hand in projects around the world.
This week our speaker comes from our very own Dunwoody Family of Rotary, as Robert Hall updates us on where we stand currently in the fight to End Polio Now. Join us live at the Dunwoody Country Club or via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86202979419. And check out the upcoming service opportunities in the articles below.
This Week's Speaker
Past RI Director Robert Hall ... in Person and Via Zoom
As we continue our November celebration of The Rotary Foundation, this week's speaker is our own Robert Hall, who currently serves as Rotary International's Vice Chair of the End Polio Now: Countdown to History Campaign Committee. You can join us in person at the Dunwoody Country Club or via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86202979419.
Before joining the Rotary Club of Dunwoody in 1986, Robert has been a member of the Rotary Clubs of Brunswick GA, Milwaukee WI and Baton Rouge LA. He is also an Honorary Member of the Rotary Club of Atlanta GA. Robert is one of Dunwoody's three Past District Governors, and has also served District 6900 as its representative to the Council on Legislation, Long Range Planning Chair, Finance Chair, Major Donor Co-Chair, Rotary Foundation Chair and Director of the Georgia Rotary Student Program.

Service Opportunity
Providing Support for Malachi's Storehouse - Toiletries, Volunteers, Lunches
Malachi's Storehouse has three needs that we could help to address:
- Toiletries and hygiene products - Malachi's is greatly in need of soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, and feminine protection products. If you bring toiletries to a Friday meeting or next week's Thirsty Thursday, we'll get someone to drop off what we collect
- Tuesday morning staffing - The Storehouse could use a volunteer rotation of three to four people on Tuesday mornings for about 90 minutes between 8:00 am and noon. This would be to help get ready for Wednesday distribution by filling bags with non-perishable groceries.
- Wednesday lunches - Malachi's has a kitchen remodel underway and needs volunteers to prepare and deliver lunch on Wednesdays during the remodel. These lunches feed the 25 volunteers who are preparing for the Wednesday afternoon food pick up.
We need to know if you are interested in being part of - and perhaps coordinating volunteers for the Tuesday and Wednesday acctivities. If you are, please contact Kobelah Svensen Bennah, the Club's Community Service Director.
