The December 19 meeting will feature two speakers who model service through community building and disciplined Rotary leadership: Jack Gerblick of the FSHD Society and Rotarian Bob O’Brien.

Jack Gerblick is the Chapter Director of the FSHD Society’s Atlanta Chapter and has lived with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) since 1991. He also serves as Chair of the Society’s Community Engagement Committee, where his work centers on connecting individuals and families affected by this rare neuromuscular disease. Jack focuses on building durable support networks, increasing public awareness, and strengthening community ties through intentional engagement. His leadership reflects a values-driven approach to turning lived experience into collective progress. At our meeting, Jack will share insights on how community, when designed and stewarded well, can advance both resilience and impact.

Bob O’Brien is a longtime member of the Rotary Club of Dunwoody, having joined in 2014, and has served as fundraising chair and public image chair over the past five years. His Rotary service includes work with Junior Achievement, Special Olympics, and the Bounds Garden project. Bob often credits an early, imperfect BBQ fundraiser as a formative lesson that later informed his successful leadership of the club’s golf tournament. A 28-year Dunwoody resident, Bob recently sold his Farmers Insurance agency and now enjoys traveling with his wife, Andrea, and time with their growing family.
