PRESIDENT'S CORNER
President Lisa Stueve's Welcome Message
Rotary International is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
The Rotary Club of Sandy Springs meets most Mondays at the Hilton Atlanta Perimeter Suites at 12:15 PM. The lunch program includes club business and also hosts guest speakers - business professionals, elected officials, non-profit leaders and others from the Sandy Springs area.
We’re always looking for ways to make an impact in the community; our club members are actively engaged with senior and youth programs that support leadership development and student scholarship. While our motto and most important feature of Rotary International is “Service Above Self,” we also work together in fellowship as we enjoy great camaraderie. Like us on Facebook Sandy Springs' Facebook Page to keep up to date on our club's activities!
I hope you will enjoy our weekly newsletter and I invite you to join us for lunch soon!
Lisa Stueve, President, Rotary Club of Sandy Springs, 2016-17
LAST WEEK'S PROGRAM

Thanks to Fred Ferrand for coordinating the event.
UPCOMING PROGRAM

On February 27, 2017, Dan Jourdan will speak to the Rotary Club of Sandy Springs. If you have to make sales or are involved in marketing, don't miss this program. From his website, danjourdan.com "Dan Jourdan AKA The Deej is a self-described ‘Sales Lunatic’. His specialty is training salespeople on how to generate an incredible pipeline of profitable new clients. As well as showing that the difference between the $30,000 salesperson and the $300,000 sales person is just the implementation of a few tools, learnable skills, and some special secrets available to you."
