Fourth of July
Join President Louise and DG Gordon Owens for a Family of Rotary Celebration!
Take to the streets of Dunwoody this Friday for the 4th of July Celebration. It's the kick-off to what's plan as an irresistible year for the Rotary Club of Dunwoody, filled with fun and making a difference in our community and around the world. And we'll be joined this Thursday by our new District Governor Gordon Owens, his wife Ashley and Gordon's parents - most likely at our hot dog stand. We're likely to spot Ashley's parents too - our own George and Amy Stewart.
Parade Walkers:
This year’s parade will feature over 100
entries. This year’s parade will
feature over 100 entries. Please plan to meet at All Saints' Church, 2443 Mt
Vernon Rd between 7:45 and 8:15am. Please arrive on time. Note that there
is no drop-off or parking in the assembly areas; only parade vehicles are
allowed. Our float will have a balloon arch, and we will use our early arrival
time to attach balloons on the day of the parade. Streets close at 8:30 AM, so
late arrivals cannot be accommodated. Suggested parking areas are Kroger
Shopping Plaza, Williamsburg Shopping Plaza, or use carpool/Uber.
The parade will end in the Dunwoody Village
area. You may want to park a car at the Publix across from Dunwoody Village or
any available space nearby.
Hot Dog Stand:
The start time is 9 AM. Volunteers will work
in shifts. Please contact Ed Holiday at eholliday1031@gmail.com for
arrival times and meet-up details.
Cookie bakers are still needed. Please package
cookies in snack bags for sale at our hot dog stand.
A Note for All
Volunteers:
Please dress comfortably and wear your blue Rotary shirt or red, white, and blue
Photo from the Archives: While this year's float celebrates our 40th anniversary as a Rotary Club, in 2011 a running Uncle Sam donned the float as we celebrated "the freedom to serve others" and passed out flyers to promote our RunDunwoody fundraiser. A few hours after the parade in 2011, Uncle Sam was the victim of a fierce downpour - this year's weather looks more promising (hot and sunny).
Congratulations!
