RE-CLASSIFICATION TALKS - DAVID CHESNUT

The club was happy to see Dave Chesnut at the meeting last week and to breakbread with one of its oldest (in terms of years of service) members once again.Dave recalled his father and uncle being members of the club, and after they left,they felt like North DeKalb needed to have a Chesnut as a member. And, with JoeGerstein being one of David’s dearest friends, mentor and law partner, David wasa natural to join the club.

And, after a few moments of awk-ward silence, Lorri confirmed that Tom did in facthave us signed up. Great work Tom! Thanks formaking us look good.

SHEPHERD CENTER - “FAMOUS” LOU GIVES BACK.....as if that was a surprise to anyone!

A small but capable group of North DeKalb Rotarians or-ganized by “Still Famous” Lou including Sandra (next bestthing to an NDR Rotarian), Mike Emanuel, Jim Grecco andSpencer Gandy met Saturday to assemble entertainmentcenters for the Shepherd Center Apartments. These apart-ments are provided free for families that have family mem-bers at the Shepherd Center. There are approximately 80apartments. Families come from as near as Athens, Geor-

gia to to as far away as Tanzania Africa. We will need another crew Saturday the16th to help finish the project.

NDR supported Sandhya Flescher this summer to work on a health assessment in Motipur, India.Motipur is a small village without public health services. Sandhya is a senior at Oglethorpe Univer-sity and a friend to NDR GRSP students, Thuy and Udi. Her experience in India has increased herinterest in women’s health.
