GRSP Leadership Weekend
Join Us This Weekend for a Dunwoody Tradition That Started in 2001

When the 42 students of the GRSP Class of 2023-24 gather at the Dunwoody North Shallowford annex this Friday, they will join more than 1,000 students who have spent a weekend with Dunwoody Rotarians exploring how "One Person, One Group Can Make a Difference." This is our 22nd GRSP Leadership weekend. Our first was in 2001 - led by Fred and Kathy Brandt, before either served as Club President!

You are welcome to be part of the weekend - the full agenda is attached here. Friday, we will pack 10,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger, and then enjoy a pizza party and game for students, host families and other interested Dunwoody Rotarians. 

On Saturday morning, the students will hear from two District 6900 Global Grant Scholars who are studying at the Rollins School of Medicine at Emory University about their graduate studies, and from Christopher Drew, North Atlanta Rotarian, on the major global grant project their 27-member club has taken on that could eventually lead to the end of spina bifida. They'll spend the afternoon actively pursuing "Courageous Leadership" under the guidance of Roswell Rotarian Michael Sutton. 

Sunday, the students will try their hand at developing service project ideas in a special version of Shark Tank led by the Rotaract Club of Atlanta.

We do not act alone in putting on this weekend - the Rotary Clubs of Buckhead and Gainesville have made significant financial contributions; so has the Georgia Rotary Student Program. And we have weekend host families from Dunwoody, Metro Atlanta, Buckhead, North Atlanta, Gwinnett, Duluth, and the Rotaract Club of Atlanta. Thanks to all!
