No Meeting This Friday
Special Opportunity to Meet with Past Global Grant Scholar
There is no meeting this Friday, as many of our members travel to SanDestin for our District 6900 Rotary Conference. That said, we do have a special visitor coming to Dunwoody on Friday - Captain Sean M. Minton, a former Rotary Global Grant Scholar who studied in London. He has provided us with an update on "Team Minton" - and Kathy and Fred Brandt are planning to meet the team for an informal breakfast on Friday. Enjoy the update that follows here - and if you'd like to join Kathy and Fred tomorrow morning, give them a call today for the details.
A snippet from the update . "My time in London attending King’s College London, tying in with the Rotary Club of London, and starting up the Rotaract of Club of London affects my perspective on the world every day. My time abroad gave me a deeper understanding and more diverse perspective on global issues of peace and conflict prevention/resolution, listening to others from around the world and hearing their views. Today, more than ever, we have to listen to know how to address the problems of our time. This was by far the greatest lesson that the Rotary Global Grant Scholarship gave me, and I am blessed to have been given the opportunity." [more]

Fellowship Opportunity
Join Us for Theater Night - June 3
Ron and Louise Barden would like to invite you to join us at the Aurora Theatre at 8 PM on June 3 to see a hysterical comedy, "The Play that goes Wrong." They saw this in NY, as did Carter. If you'd like to join, please buy your own tickets at http//: www.auroratheatre.com. At this time, seats are available and there are no bad seats in this beautiful new theatre. I suggest you buy tickets soon. If you wish to meet for supper before the play, let Louise know and she will make reservations at a restaurant near the theatre in old downtown Lawrenceville.
