Tuesday's meeting will be an extra special one. In honor of Memorial Day, we will have two veterans join us to speak! One will be our very own AH member and Army vet, Allison Ziants!! The other will be Alfonso Rogers from the Veterans Empowerment Organization. He will share ways our club can give back to the veteran communities in Roswell.

And mark your calendars for our June 7 meeting as well. Author Chris Tuff will be speaking and we want to pack the house! Same time, same place.

RHS Interact Raises Donation for Ukraine

Roswell High School Interact Club is making a generous donation in support of Ukraine. So proud of these students and their compassion and "do something" attitude! Go Roswell High Interact! And thank you to Regan Pierce!

Don't Miss a Thing!
RRC Switches From Text Marks to Simple Texting

RRC has switched to Simple Texting for club reminders. 

How does this effect me?

If you are a member with a cell phone number on record with the club, you are already set up! You will get a compliance message when we send the first text on the new service.

If you did not give a cell number to the club and want text reminders, just text RRC to 833-456-2829 and this will get you signed up! Easy! 

What changes if I already get club texts?

Just the number that the message will come from. So if you see the number 833-456-2829 in your text messages, that's the RRC notification.

Any questions? Tori Nielson, our awesome Club Administrator will help you! 

Awesome Weather & People
Alive in Roswell Thursday May 19

RRC is at Alive in Roswell Thursday, May 19th, at 5:30pm! 

Where?  Hagan Corner (Norcross St & Canton St).

What? Grilled Hotdogs & coolers full of beverages.  A great night for guests.

After Hours Club Update
RRAH Welcomes New Members


After Hours is on a roll! They met on Tuesday and inducted three new members. Congrats, Lindsay, John and Belle! We also revealed our event schedule for the next three months. Some event highlights include a percentage night at Lucky's Burger & Brew, a Drake House project and "Shoot the 'Hooch" social. Also on Tuesday, Ian Mari was present to take our headshots. Thank you, Ian! 

Our next meeting is Tuesday, May 17 at 6:30 at our usual spot. In the spirit of Memorial Day, we will have Army veteran and After Hours member Allison Ziants as our featured speaker!

Can you say SOLD OUT?????

New location for Tue, May 17: Business Networking Rotary-Style continues
Smarter Biz Dev because it's with Fellow Rotarians (District Event)

This is an opportunity for you or someone on your staff who needs to network and generate revenue, or someone you are interested in recruiting to Roswell Rotary that needs to network with Rotarians:

This is networking with people who have the integrity of the 4 Way Test!  This is why Paul Harris formed Rotary for 1905. Professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and conduct business together. 

Our last gathering again drew a crowd from the Atlanta Metro, Dunwoody, Peachtree City, Roswell, Sandy Springs and Tucker clubs.

While Rotary is about "Service Above Self," there is a growing place for networking in Rotary, particularly for those responsible for generating revenue.

Location:     King & Queen Buildings

Courtside Grille at Concourse Athletic Club

8 Concourse Parkway

Sandy Springs , GA 30328

Plenty of free parking

Please plan to join us on Tue, Jun 21 at 6:30pm.

For more information, please contact Hal Schlenger HSchlenger@GreatSouthBenefits.com | (770-335-0077), or Johnathan Clark of the Tucker Club (johnathanmclark@gmail.com | 404.512.6058).
