We're On the Move!
A reminder that we are on a journey to our new meeting place - Maggiano’s Little Italy, Perimeter Mall, 4400 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., Dunwoody, GA. Here's where you'll find us for the next few weeks:
- This week, we're at the Dunwoody Country Club on Thursday night - to celebrate our Rotary Year (see story below)
- Saturday, June 21, you can go to Bounds Gardens at 9:00 AM
- Next Friday - June 27 - will be our first meeting at Maggiano's.
And while we'll keep meeting Fridays at Maggiano's, the week after our move we're still "on the move" - with the float decorating party on June 29 and the rest of our July 4 tradition. Join us on the parade route or at the hot dog stand to welcome in the new Rotary year. We hope to see everyone everywhere!!!

Rotary International News
RI Names New President for 2025-26
You may remember Matthew mentioning last Friday that the RI President-Elect had announced he was stepping down from his presidency that would have started July 1. This past Saturday, Rotary International announced a new President for 2025-26 - Francesco Arezzo of the Rotary Club of Ragusa, Italy.
Current RI President Stephanie Urchick said, "Francesco Arezzo has been a member of Rotary for more than 30 years and is a Benefactor of The Rotary Foundation. His dedication to Rotary values and vision for a better world make him a remarkable choice to lead us forward. This transition reminds us that Rotary is more than any one individual—it is a global movement, deeply rooted in fellowship and service, capable of adapting and thriving no matter the challenge. Now is the time to Unite for Good under Francesco’s leadership, and together we will propel Rotary into a future defined by hope, action, and community."
