Calling All Volunteers
Dunwoody Arts Festival - May 9-11
In just three weeks, Dunwoody Village will be transformed into a thriving artist market. As a Dunwoody Rotarian - or a member of the Dunwoody family of Rotary - you have an opportunity to participate! Consider this your call to volunteer. The 15th annual Dunwoody Art Festival features artisans from across the country, a creative Kidz Zone, entertainment and tasty festival food. Mark your calendar now. Be part of the team that will make this 2025 signature event a “best-ever” success.
The Rotary Club of Dunwoody has been part of the Festival since its inaugural year in 2010. In exchange for the amazing volunteer support by Dunwoody Rotarians and Atlanta Rotaract, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody receives a complimentary ($2,000+ value), well-located exhibit space ($2,000+ Value) at the festival. We utilize this exhibit as the center for the Rotary Club’s community outreach - a place where we have recruited new members and enlisted potential Rotary Youth Exchange host families and outbound students.
There are two ways to help:
- Be a Festival volunteer: Welcome artists and help them set up on Friday (6-9 pm) and/or Saturday (6-9 am)
- Be a Rotary Club of Dunwoody ambassador: Help share our story with the community. We will staff the booth from 10 am - 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday; let us know when you might be able to help that happen.
You can register by completing a form on Friday, or contacting Jay Brackman (404-483-5886 or by email at atlcubsfan@gmail.com) or Kathy Brandt (404-797-0705 or email at kgbrandt1@comcast.net). Please include name, cell phone #, requested shifts, and t-shirt size.
Thank You USO Volunteers and Supporters!
Last week, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody and the E. 48th Street Market stood tall in support of the USO. A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers and bakers who helped make this happen. The Club and E. 48th Street Market and its customers also made a $2,000 donation to USO Georgia to help it continue to do the good work of supporting our military, their families and our veterans.
