Happy Anniversary Roy and Franci!
Contrary to what the calendar in blue to the left has to say, Roy and Franci Ethridge just celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary! Roy has been a Dunwoody Rotarian since 1986. He and Franci inspired our efforts at Dresden Elementary School and the Atlanta Women and Children's Day Center. For many years, the book project we'll do at a club meeting in mid-May for Dresden and Kingsley was the kick-off to the Christmas holiday season at the Ethridges on the first Saturday of December. And many of us have enjoyed the fine dance steps of the Ethridges at the Governors Ball.
Happy anniversary Franci and Roy!
New Opportunity for Fellowship
Join Us for Wine in the Garden - May 11
We are creating a new group within Dunwoody Rotary - for those who are interested in sharing wine experiences with friends. If you are interested in what we hope would be a regular fellowship, please join us on May 11 at 5:30 pm at Cathie Brumfield's for Wine in the Garden - outside among the old growth forest on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Bring an appetizer and/or a bottle of wine to share.
We're thinking we could do this monthly - with a different host and theme each month. Our overall objective: To have some fun and get to know each other better on a casual basis.
We'll talk more about the ongoing details when we gather on the 11th.
To give us an idea of how many people we're planning for, please send an email to Jackie Cuthbert at cuthbert@mindspring.com.
Hope to see you on the 11th!
