No Friday Meeting This Week
May Your Days Be Merry and Bright ...

We don't wish for you to have a White Christmas unless that's your wish! We won't be meeting this Friday or next, and hope your travels are safe, and your gatherings filled with family and friends, good food and lots of fun!  Photo from my sister's backyard menagerie at Lake of the Pines, Auburn, California where the forecast is lots of rain.

Books at Kingsley: Another Reason to Celebrate This Holiday Season!

On December 16, our club made quick work of labeling books to be given to students in several grades at Kingsley Elementary School. This last service project for 2025 carries on a long tradition of giving the gift of reading to students at Dresden Elementary and Kingsley Elementary - books that may be the start of these children's personal library and love of reading! Thanks to Dr. Jennie Springer and Roy Ethridge for getting us started on this project nearly 30 years ago - and to Anita Augello for always making this a rewarding experience! See more pictures!

No Holiday Noise About Golf

Enjoy Christmas and the holidays with your family. If you were to think about the Dunwoody Golf Tournament at all:

  • Save the date: May 18, 2026
  • Check out the website:  FORE! the Memories – Rotary Club of Dunwoody Charity Golf Tournament
  • Think about how you’d like to support our biggest fundraiser – with your time, talents and treasures!

We’ll be here to tell you more (and more) after the first of the year!

Wine Fellowship
Join Us for a 12th Night Wine Fellowship in January!

It's a 12th Night Wine Fellowship to ring in the New Year - also dubbed by hosts Ron and Louise Barden as an "ugly sweater/pretty sweater" duel!  In any event, join your Dunwoody Rotary friends on Sunday, January 4, 2026 from 3-5 pm. Bring a bottle of wine or other beverage and a snack to share.

Mulled wine and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. And let's keep our Christmas garb out for an extra week - we invite you to wear your ugly Christmas sweater ... Or a pretty Christmas sweater ... or whatever. Be aware: There will be prizes for the "ugliest" and the "prettiest" Christmas sweater.

The party will be at 5576 Colbert Trail, Peachtree Corners, GA. Our home phone is 770 447-9281.

Please RSVP to Louise by email at lbarden@comcast.net
