It's Time for Holiday Luncheon and Toys for Tots!

This Friday, December 5, we'll join together at the Dunwoody Country Club for our annual Holiday Luncheon. Festivities begin with check-in starting at 11 am and a program starting at 11:30 am. Come see your Dunwoody Family of Rotary and enjoy the Dresden Elementary Choir. Please RSVP this week if you can to Alison Norris by email at CallingDunwoodyHome@gmail.com.

As you know, we are continuing our tradition of supporting the Marines and their Toys for Tots Drive this holiday season. We will have a table at the Holiday Luncheon on December 5 to collect your donations. This year - with rising costs for everything - helps families make the holidays special is more challenging - and more important! You can help with toys, bikes, games, craft kits, dolls and more. Do your buying now and bring your unwrapped contributions to the Holiday Luncheon. If you have any questions, contact Jim Glass. Please help us support this great work!

Whiskey Raffle Raises Nearly $10,000

The Whiskey Raffle Committee is proud to announce the monumental success of this year’s Whiskey Raffle, which raised just shy of $10,000 for our charitable work—marking the fourth consecutive year the club has increased the money raised through this flagship fundraiser! The total revenue exceeded $11,000 from approximately 550 tickets sold, demonstrating the tremendous public support for our mission. This record-breaking year confirms that the raffle committee has developed an excellent model for success and significantly expanded the club’s reach. Key notes:

  1. All the whiskey raffle prizes were donated - maximizing our profit on the event
  2. Whiskey tastings maximized the visibility of our raffle - and added to the fun
  3. Two-thirds of the tickets were purchased by non-Rotarians.
