FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynn Dunn and all news should be directed to her at lynn.dunn@rmcpa.com

President's Message

Well done Roswell Rotary!

This week a group of Roswell Rotarians made a trip down to Panama to visit our Global Grant in the Darien jungle.  Thanks to this club's commitment to one of the seven areas of focus of Rotary international, two communities in this very remote part of the world are living better lives with clean water.   This trip included new Rotarians as well as seasoned veterans from our club and from our partner club in Panama City.   We built lifelong memories and experienced some new “Rotary Moments” in building new relationships with not only the native people of Darien but with other Rotarians. 

The value of being connected to the Rotary family both near and far became so evident when one of our travelers became ill the morning before departure while checking in for the flight back and was unable to travel.  Rotary members from Panama Nordeste stepped up and made the necessary arrangements for an extra day of recuperation.  Through numerous text messages and phone calls, one member called the hotel, one member’s wife was a pharmacist and made a delivery to the hotel, another planned for transportation back to the airport the following day.

Its great to be a Rotarian!

Don't forget to wear your Green this Thursday as we celebrate St Patrick's Day and Leadership 20/20.  See you there!

Tino Mantella Speaker March 17
Youth Leadership 20/20 Event at Roswell Rotary

Welcome Tino Mantella, President & CEO Turknett Leadership Group

What a treat to hear from Tino Mantella as we honor these Roswell High School student leaders at Rotary today. Tino's passion is youth leadership. As CEO of the Chicago YMCA, Tino worked to provide programs that helped youth from so many different backgrounds.  As a former wrestler, he connects with student athletes and has provided numerous mentoring opportunities for young people. And as a connector for people in the corporate world with his past experience at the helm of TAG (Technology Association of Georgia), he is generous with his time when counseling young people just starting out in their careers. 

Leadership Lessons the Hard and Only Way

Tino's presentation will focus on these three points:

1. Courage of Conviction

2. BHAGS (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) Aligned with Action

3. The Difference YOU Can Make

About Tino

Tino Mantella joined Turknett Leadership as President and CEO in October of 2018. Over the course of his career, he has led some of the nation’s largest non-profit organizations as well as for-profit companies in diversified fields such as human and social services, health and technology. Under his guidance, the Technology Association of Georgia and the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago became the largest institutions of their kind in North America. His track record of accelerating impact related to the lives of people, the congruity of teams and the effectiveness of organizations is evident in his national publication recognized reputation of being a versatile, innovative leader. His current focus is on seeing that the Turknett mission of ‘spreading leadership character around the globe’ is carried out to it’s fullest extent to impact a greater number of people and leaders.

Tino has traversed careers leading for-profit and not-for-profit companies that include but are not limited to disciplines in health, technology, human services, leadership development, and security. He was a Division one collegiate athlete and Captain of the Temple University Wrestling team.  As an organizer of public policy efforts he has had opportunities to interface with national and local leaders and affect change.  And as Tino gives back, he has provided leadership and guidance to numerous not-for-profit leaders.

As president & CEO of Turknett Leadership Group, he has led the company to record sales and growth, and is heavily involved in TLG's foundation the Leadership Character Youth Coalition (LCYC), a 501-C3 organization, with a mission of spreading Leadership Character across the globe. 

Tino resides in Johns Creek with his writer/author wife Deb Mantella. He has two daughters, Dana and Cara and son Brock. He is a proud grandfather of a granddaughter, Brxley. 

Welcome Leadership 20/20 Student Leaders!

We welcome you to Roswell Rotary and congratulate you on being chosen for Leadership 20/20 this year! This forum is sponsored by Roswell Rotary and supported by RHS PTSA. Leadership 20/20 is a full school day of leadership workshops for a select group of RHS students. These students are nominated by their teachers for classroom leadership not based on academics, not athletics, etc.  So you will see a full scope of the RHS community.   

In addition to Tino's keynote topic on leadership, the students will hear from the following community leaders during the rest of the day on these current hot topics:

CyberBullying - Debbie Cwalina 

Inclusion (GLBT+) - Becky Nelson

Mental Health - Bob Clarkson

Substance Abuse/Partying - Michael Curling

Leadership/Creating your own Pathway - Zach Fields

Don't miss this meeting!

What a wonderful opportunity to honor these student leaders and spend some time in fellowship and fried chicken with them.

Be sure to wear your green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on Thursday! Who knows? Might be a prize for best outfit! The question is....What will President Terry wear?????

Roswell Relays....Back in 2022 with 26 teams!!!

After having to cancel the 2020 Roswell Rotary Relays and with a reduced schedule in 2021, the 2022 Rotary Relays is back to normal with a full schedule of 26 teams participating on Saturday March 19, 2022, at Roswell High School.  The Relays start at 9:00 and should finish by 5:00. 

Roswell Rotary is the sponsor

As the sponsor of the Relays our Rotary Club provides volunteers to help run the track & field events as well as provide hospitality for the team coaches and Rotary volunteers.  Our greatest need for volunteers is in the morning to cover both sessions of the field events.  We will also need some volunteers during the running events in the afternoon.  After having restrictions on what was allowed last year our hospitality coordinator Mindy Jones is planning for our normal breakfast and lunch set up in the school cafeteria so we will need adequate hospitality volunteers from approximately 8:00 to 3:00.

What We Need

  • Greatest Need: Morning volunteers to cover both sessions of field events
  • Afternoon volunteers for running events
  • Hospitality volunteers for shifts running from 8am 3pm

 How to sign up    SIGN UP HERE Through Sign Up Genius 

I would like to encourage everyone to please consider giving some of your time to help with this great event.  Use the sign up link to volunteer. If you have any questions , please contact Bruce Smith at bsmith@mckaycotton.com, text  404-312-0577 or contact Mindy Jones at goldyall@aol.com or  770-231-1016 or Becky Nelson at susbeck6061@gmail.com or text  404-406-6121.
