This year, students will be with us in Dunwoody from Friday afternoon, February 9, through Sunday morning, February 11. Co-chairs Jackie Cuthbert and Meredith Morris need your help - we need another 5-6 host families, and people to help at various times in the weekend set-up, food and logistics. We're having a planning meeting Thursday night, January 11, at the Dunwoody Annex at 6:30 pm and would love to have you there.
Students are generally assigned to weekend host parents in pairs - the host provides beds to sleep in on Friday and Saturday. breakfast early Saturday and Sunday mornings, and transportation to and from the Dunwoody Annex on Shallowford. Hosts are invited to join the students for group dinners on Saturday in Rotarian homes and drop in on other parts of the program as they'd like.
