Community
Contributions
We are a service organization of women whose purpose is to join together
to expand our skills and apply our abilities as we promote interest and activity
in education, philanthropy, civics, moral values and the fine arts.
Our
members are leaders in the community whose financial and hands on
service contributions have helped to shape the very character of
Dunwoody and North DeKalb. DWC members have helped to forge the
strong sense of community enjoyed by all who live in this thriving
metro Atlanta area.
The
Club is committed to six departments of work - Conservation,
Education, Home Life, International Affairs, Public Affairs and
The Arts. Funding is provided through the annual Dunwoody Home
Tour, occurring the first Wednesday in October.
