Building on Our 40-Year Legacy
Celebrating Our Partnership with Rotaract Club of Atlanta
Editor's Note: As we move through our 40th year as the Rotary Club of Dunwoody, we have a legacy of people with a passion and energy for service that have allowed us to make a difference in the lives of individuals, in our community and the world. We plan to celebrate the people and partnerships that have contributed to who we are today and offer great potential for the difference we can make in the future. We are starting with our partnership with the Rotaract Club of Atlanta because they have some special guests joining us at our year-end celebration this Thursday. When the Rotary Club of Dunwoody sponsored the Rotaract Club of Atlanta during Laura Kann's year as our President (2011-12), we had great hope for what we could accomplish together ... and we have certainly come to rely on these young business professionals for some of our signature projects. Just this year, Rotaractors have played a major role in the: - GRSP Leadership Weekend ... where Rotaract plans and leads Sunday morning's Shark Tank Competition and contributes to other parts of the weekend
- Dunwoody Arts Festival ... as part of the crew helping the artists with set-up and breakdown
- Special Olympics Basketball Skills Day
All this in addition to the projects that Rotaract takes on its own and their joint projects with the Rotary Club of Metro Atlanta. The Club has provided leadership at the district level too, and Past President Alicia Rodriguez was on a panel at last month's Rotary Convention in Australia addressing the partnership between Rotary and Rotaract (pictured with Lorri and Jackie above). This Thursday night, Rotaract President Alex West, President Elect Ryan Maguire and Rotaractor Helen Gunn will be joining our end-of-year celebration. Take time to visit with them and thank them for their commitment to service! We have great friends in the Rotaract Club of Atlanta and look forward to a long future!
