This Week's Speaker
Greg Bluestein, Atlanta Journal Constitution

Join us this Friday at the AC Hotel to welcome Greg Bluestein, a political reporter and author who covers the governor's office and Georgia politics for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Greg writes for the front-page of the AJC, contributes to the Political Insider blog and morning Jolt newsletter, co-hosts the Politically Georgia podcast and is a frequent guest on local and national TV and radio programs. He's an MSNBC and NBC News contributor and the author of "Flipped," a book on Georgia's epic 2020 election.

Greg is a proud graduate of the University of Georgia with degrees in journalism and political science, and Axios named him the "most dedicated" Bulldog fan at the 2023 national championship game. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Dunwoody. Order his book at: http://bit.ly/FlippedTheBook

Service Opportunity
Help Share Rotary at the Dunwoody Arts Festival

Congratulations!  Thank you Dunwoody Rotarians and friends! With a week to go, we could still use a few more helpers, especially in our booth. Join this Dunwoody tradition of 14 years - as a Dunwoody Rotary ambassador in our Rotary Club Exhibit booth.  The booth is open from 10 AM to 4 PM next Saturday and Sunday - May 11 and 12 - contact Kathy Brandt or Matthew Johnson and let them know what time you might be able to help. It's a great chance to greet the public and tell the RCD story.

Thank You for Your Service
