One of our club’s most visible contributions to the Dunwoody community is the beautiful traffic island across from the Dunwoody Library. This cherished spot is affectionately known as "Bounds Garden," named in honor of our dedicated member, Fred Bounds. For many years, Fred has tirelessly led the maintenance of this green space, ensuring it remains a point of pride for our neighborhood.

While Mother Nature had other plans for our scheduled workday last Saturday, Fred made the wise call to reschedule due to the rain forecast. We are now set to gather this Saturday, January 17, to give the garden its first refresh of the new year.

As always, we keep things efficient and fun. We will start promptly at 9:00 AM and aim to be finished by 10:00 AM. It is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some fresh air, engage in light physical work, and share in the wonderful camaraderie that defines our club. As the saying goes, "many hands make light work"—the more volunteers we have, the quicker we can restore the garden to its full glory.

Let’s start 2026 on a high note by giving back to the community we love. We encourage you to bring along a friend or a prospective member to show them the Rotary spirit in action. Think of adding yourself to this photo of Fred at the garden following our successful cleanup this past October. We look forward to seeing everyone there this Saturday!
