While there's no Rotary meeting this Friday morning, you can still see some of your favorite Dunwoody Rotarians at Thirsty Thursday this week! Join us on the patio at Marlowe's Tavern in Dunwoody Village between 5 pm and 7 pm. And think about bringing a friend or business associate who might be interested in the Rotary Club of Dunwoody!
And be sure to set your alarm for next Friday - September 27 - when we'll hear from David Lee Windecher. David is a trailblazing orator, author and lawyer in the growing movement to end mass incarceration and redress racial inequity in the criminal justice system. In his autobiography The American Dream/HiSstory in the Making, David shares the harsh realities of growing up as an impoverished immigrant on the streets of Miami-Dade County. He was arrested 13 times and spent over 7 months incarcerated as a juvenile. He dropped out of high school and joined a gang for protection. His street name was “Red.” David endured the brutal climate of the lawlessness on the streets by both criminals and the police. All the while he dreamed of becoming a lawyer and fighting for those who don’t have the resources to pay for justice.
Hope to see you at Thirsty Thursday this week and at our meeting next Friday!
