And you can always visit the tournament website or contact Rick Woods if you'd like to make a contribution to this fund-raising effort. Your support will benefit the Alzheimer's Association and other charities we support in the Dunwoody Community.

District Conference 2023
SanDestin was the Rotary Place to Be Last Weekend!

We had a great time in SanDestin last weekend - these photos just show a small part of the fun as we enjoyed Green Acres and fellowship with friends. We hosted a hospitality suite with Sandy Springs that welcomed many of our District friends. Ask Meredith about her vintage hat - all part of Friday night's Green Acres costume event.

The club was recognized for Best Foundation giving and President Jennifer received her District Governor's citation for a job well done! 

We had 16 members of our Dunwoody Rotary family there - including Camille, our Rotary Youth Exchange student, and Shashwat, this year's GRSP student.
