This Week's Speaker
Hoa Nguyen, Our 2024-25 GRSP Student

Join us this Friday at the Embassy Suites to hear from Hoa, our 2024-25 GRSP student who hails from Vietnam and is in her first year at Oglethorpe University, studying the sciences in pursuit of her dream to become a nurse. We won't share much more of her bio here, because that's the topic of Hoa's presentation - come and learn more about Hoa, her family and her country! 

Hoa will be introduced by proud host mom Meredith Morris. Meredith has totally "adopted" Hoa and has been busy sharing as many Georgia experiences as she can. Meredith would like your help in that process - please contact her or Hoa if you have a favorite food or attraction you'd like to share, or you'd like to host Hoa for a few days - particularly during winter holiday break. 

Service Opportunity
Help with Special Olympics Basketball Skills Workshop - December 6

Join us in a special Dunwoody tradition as we help with the annual Special Olympics Basketball Skills Clinic and Competition on Friday, December 6 at Peachtree Middle School, 4664 N Peachtree Rd., Dunwoody 30338. The workshop runs from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm - and you can sign up for an hour and a half shift or the full three-hour session.

Wondering what it's all about:

  • Fact:  Through participation in athletics, Special Olympic athletes learn life skills that transfer to home, community, school, work place.
  • Fact:  While Special Olympics athletes work hard to achieve their goals, thousands of volunteers partner with athletes helping them achieve success.
  • Fact:  Dunwoody Rotarians and Atlanta Rotaract have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of 150+ DeKalb County special needs students and their families.
Ready to volunteer?Contact Rick Woods at 678- 296-2295 or sdoowrm@gmail.com, or Kathy Brandt at 404-797-0705 or kgbrandt1@comcast.net
