Our DECEMBER meeting will be our Annual Christmas Dinner December 7th at the Crowne Plaza at Ravinia with the JULIETS as our honored guests
DECEMBER 7 ANNUAL ROMEO/JULIET CHRISTMAS DINNER
JANUARY 12 ROMEO BREAKFAST MEETING
ROMEO NEWS
Our NOVEMBER breakfast meeting had Patriotism as our theme. We celebrated and honored Sgt. Mike Carlson's safe return from his 1 year deployment in Afghanistan with his National Guard Unit. Sgt. Carlson's remarks regarding the success of his mission and the accomplishments of his military team were very uplifting, inspiring, and most appreciated. We know the Dunwoody Police Department is equally glad to have Sgt. Carlson back.We likewise celebrated The United States Marine Corps birthday and recognized THE ROMEO Veterans.
In lieu of a DECEMBER breakfast meeting, we will instead celebrate the Holidays with our Annual ROMEO/JULIET Christmas Dinner at the Crowne Plaza Ravina, Maplewood Room, on Sunday, December 7 beginning with a reception at 600 PM. We have 59 confirmed reservations for the gala event. We will again support the Dunwoody Police Department "Christmas For Kids" wonderful outreach as our one service project. Unwrapped gifts for a child 15 and under will be presented to Sgt. Fidel Espinoza, founder of the program, at our dinner. This promises to be an evening to remember.

Village Mill Christmas Eve Luminary Tradition
|
|
Whether you celebrate the luminary tradition or not, step outside at 6:00 p.m. Christmas Eve and join your neighbors for hugs, handshakes and good wishes. It is a special time in Village Mill! Here are the details for the annual luminary tradition:
*** You will need: brown paper lunch bags, some sand, and small
votive candles. A typical Village Mill yard needs about 16 bags and
candles. Corner lots will need at least twice that.Put about 2 inches of sand in the bottom of each bag.Sand will be available in the pool parking lot starting Saturday,December 20th. ***
On Christmas Eve, place the bags 6 feet apart, along the curb, in front of
your house, including your driveway. Put a candle in each bag.
*** Light your candles at 6:00 p.m. - rain or shine - and let them burn
as long as they will through the night. If you won't be at home on
Christmas Eve, please ask a neighbor to light your luminaries for you.
Happy Holidays!

Holiday Support Opportunity
|
|
Regardless of religion, the world has chosen this time of year to celebrate love through the gift of giving.
Our family is involved with a local Dunwoody food pantry/soup kitchen, called Malachi's Storehouse. It is an outreach ministry at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church in Dunwoody, distributing over 200,000 pounds of food annually to needy families of all denominations. 500 children are registered to receive toys on Saturday, Dec. 20 at Malachi's Annual Toy Party. We would appreciate your consideration of a donation of new toys, gift cards, cash/check or gift wrap to benefit the children who are in need, especially at this joyous time of year. I will have a box on my porch, 4634 Village Ct, where you can leave donations of toys. If you'd like to contribute gift cards or money, please call or email me at batoms@icloud.com so I can make arrangements to collect these items from you.
Thank you for your support!
