This Week's Speaker
Cathie Brumfield, The Power of Native Plants ... Rescheduled from August
Join us this Friday when our own Cathie Brumfield shares some of what she has learned in her efforts on behalf of native plants. you can join us live at LeMeridien or on Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89796844807. We postponed this talk when our audiovisual equipment let us down one Friday in August.
A lifelong gardener, Cathie grew more interested in Georgia native plants when she and Ritchie purchased their current home along the river in 2011 due to the unique native plants growing in their forest and on the river. In Cathie's words, "In 2016 I enrolled in the UGA Native Plant Certificate Program in Athens, and completed an 80-hour program in early 2019. I learned what an amazing area the Georgia Piedmont is because of its location between the mountains in the north and the coast in the south. I began to restore the forest and flood plain that was my garden with native plants because they survived and even prospered." [read more]
Service Opportunity
Still Time to Join Us for a Dunwoody Special Olympics Tradition
by Rick Woods
As you all know, we do a lot of things that benefit our community. We give our time, our energy and our money to help so that people can live a life that’s less burdened than it would be if we did nothing. I find personal satisfaction in all that we do. One area of service though, is particularly pleasing for me: Special Olympics.
On Friday, November 11, from 9:30am to 12:30pm, Special Olympics is managing a Basketball Skills Clinic with Competition amongst the teams following. It is, by far, of all the things we do, the most rewarding service project for me. The reason, I think, is that feedback from the athletes is in real time; it’s immediate. You’ll see/hear all kinds of things: expressive body motions, facial expressions, laughing, grunting, joy, disappointment, frustration, and everything else. Although you probably won’t see it in a way that you’re used to, you’ll also notice that every Special Olympics athlete gives you a strong indication of appreciation. It is a very emotional experience. I hope you will join us
