Club and District Awards Celebrate Ardy's Year
Recognizing Our Club Members at Year-End
At our end of the year event, President Ardy recognized Griff Ransom as Rotarian of the Year - an award well deserved just on the basis of his work as our Sargeant-at-Arms ... rising to the challenges of new meeting places and Zoom meetings while still helping us make a difference in the community. Ardy recognized Peyton Adkins Graham as our Rookie of the Year, for her dedication to projects and work on Facebook! Ardy also recognized several club members with David Baker awards, in honor of our founding Rotarian:
- Cathie Brumfield - for unselfish dedication, generosity and support to our club - supporting the treasurer's role and opening her home to us
- Jennie Stipick - for going above expectations, and taking on Bill Mulkey's role managing our Rotary Foundation giving. Jennie was a person behind the scenes giving a lot of wisdom and generosity
- Jackie Cuthbert - for untiring efforts and limitless dedication to the club - the newsletter, listening, advising and being on point all the time
- Rick Otness - Presidential Adviser - for always being there and volunteering, and for "exactitude"
- Rick Woods - for keeping his promise to help the club, particularly taking on reporting requirements to the district to make sure we did what we needed to be recognized for all we do
- Jennifer Bowler - for her continuous dedication, availability and passion - serving double duty as secretary and president nominee and making things happen
- Edward Holiday - for always being available and making things happen behind the scenes.
Recognition from the District
When President Ardy returned from a well-deserved rest in Hawaii, he was greeted by recognition from District 6900 for his great leadership, in the form of a Governor's Citation! Job well done! And, the club received recognition for our generosity:
- As a Runner-Up among Category III clubs for Foundation Giving - one per capita and one total giving
- For Best CART giving in Category III - based on our contributions to Alzheimer's Research after Charlene Hall's presentation
- As a Jake Cheatham Award winner in Category III for Best GRSP Giving
The district will announce other awards during the August District Celebration in SanDestin.

Dunwoody Diners is Back!
The Dunwoody Diners are back. On Saturday, July 10, 11 members of the Dunwoody Family of Rotary gathered at Aldo's for drinks and fine food. The food was of course good, the wine was even better, but best of all were the conversations. Thanks to Ken and Sherry Levy for arranging the evening - they were also celebrating their wedding anniversary!
For the newer members of the Rotary Club, Dunwoody Diners tries to meet every 6-8 weeks. Any Rotarian (and guest if he/she desires) gather to break bread and catch up on what is going on in various lives. It is a great way to better get to know club members. Each person pays their own tab, but also contributes $5 toward an eventual gift to the Dunwoody Rotary Charitable Fund. In past years we have generally raised between $200 and $400.
The next gathering will be in late September. Watch for updates in the Bulletin.
Thanks for Your Service
Bounds Garden Gets a Pick-Me-Up
Five of Fred's rangers gathered last Saturday morning (before the day heated up) to give a quick face lift to Bounds Garden (the traffic Island located next to Dunwoody Library).The Rotary Club of Dunwoody adopted the intersection approximately 15 years ago and has continued giving it tender loving care.
In a first Hoshi Daruwalla arrived early (8:30), while the rest arrived at a more leisurely paced 9 AM. We weeded, cleaned up trash, and put out new pine straw. When they left, Bounds Garden was again the jewel it has been for the past 15 years. Picture was taken by Baku Daruwalla who was both a Ranger and our photographer, and probably responsible for Hoshi's early arrival).

Do You Have Rotary Expenses That Need to Be Paid?
To improve quality control, avoid errors, and speed timely payment to you we have made changes to the clubs payment process. This process has just been finalized after testing the last six months, and now we want to be sure you know how it works.
To obtain a check or reimbursement from the club, go to https://www.dunwoodyrotary.org/resource/397, download and complete the Expense and Reimbursement Request Form, then send it via email with any supporting documents to rcdtreas@gmail.com
This ensures that we get the correct amount to the correct address, and allows us to have supporting documentation all in one place for future review.
