We need your help with a very special Dunwoody tradition - the GRSP Leadership Weekend ... taking place January 30 to February 1 at the Dunwoody North Shallowford Annex. This year, we are co-hosting the event with the Rotary Club of Buckhead - one that brings all 40 students in the Georgia Rotary Student Program's Class of 2025-26 together for a weekend of learning, service and fun.  The Rotary Club of Metro Atlanta and the Rotaract Club of Atlanta also partner in putting on this event.

To have a successful weekend, we need lots of help from you. For now, we are focused on enlisting host families for the weekend. 

One of the most important roles you can play is as a host family for the weekend. It’s a great way to get to know students from all over the world. We encourage hosting two students, but will try to accommodate your request for one, two or more than two! Host family responsibilities include providing:

• A bed to sleep in Friday and Saturday night
• Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning – whether that’s home-cooked or from a favorite local place
• Transportation to and from the event, which will be held at the Dunwoody North Shallowford Annex at 4470 N. Shallowford Rd, Dunwoody (Friday night pick-up, Saturday drop-off and pick-up, and Sunday morning drop-off)

Host families are also invited to join the students for Friday and Saturday night meals and activities.

If you are interested, let Jackie Cuthbert know - send an email to cuthbert@mindspring.com - and let her how many students you'd like to host, what countries you might be interested in, and whether you have pets (so we can avoid any pet allergy issues.
