Fellowship Opportunity
Join Dunwoody Diners and Support Ukraine Relief - April 2

The next Dunwoody Diners will happen at 7 PM on Saturday, April 2 - tomorrow, March 31, is the last day to sign up for an evening of fun and food at Aomi Restaurant (hibachi) in The Forum on Peachtree Parkway. This will be a special event since all diners will be asked to make a contribution (large or small) to the Rotary Ukraine Disaster Relief Fund.

For newer members, this is a great way to meet other members (and their significant others) in a relaxed setting. Conversation is casual, the is food good, and the cost is typically between $40-$50 per person (before tax and tip). These dinners allow you the opportunity to really get to know a few Rotarians much better than possible at our Friday meetings.

Restaurant: Aomi Restaurant (hibachi) in The Forum on Peachtree Parkway

Address: 5145 Peachtree Pkwy #470A, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092

Phone: (770) 840-8710

Please RSVP to either Ken or Sherry Levy by tomorrow, March 31, 2022, if you plan to attend.

Congratulations
Bob O'Brien and Lorri Christopher Honored at DeKalb Rotary Council

At last Friday's DeKalb Rotary Council breakfast, two Dunwoody Rotarians received special recognition:

• Bob O'Brien received the "Show Rotary Cares" award - honoring all he does for the club and community - including chairing this year's inaugural golf tournament and other fundraising efforts. Bob has been a Dunwoody Rotarian since October 2014. The "Show Rotary Cares" award is given in honor of our own PDG Bill Mulkey - reflecting the Rotary International theme when he served as DG.
• Lorri Christopher received the "You are the Key" award. One Rotarian is nominated by each of the DeKalb Rotary Council clubs and the awards committee selects the recipient. Lorri was honored for her key support to the DeKalb Rotary Council (where she serves as Treasurer), District 6900 (where she has served as an Assistant Governor and in other capacities) and GRSP (where she serves as Secretary of the Executive Committee). This award is given in honor of PDG Bob Grant from Stone Mountain - named for the RI theme his year as DG.

Congrats and THANK YOU to Bob and Lorri for all they do.
