Huskies and Summer Surfing, Oh My!
President's Message July 21
We are in full Golf and Tennis planning mode now. Every week in our Rotascope you can learn about one of the many charities we support through the proceeds of the tournaments. Our program this week features two of these organizations. Come hear how we help support the Huskies at Crabapple Middle School and enjoy a special treat from Georgia Ensemble Theater's singing sensation Summer Surf Party. Also this week we will receive an update about the rollout of our Grace Period international project in Zimbabwe. It's sure to be a fun, informative meeting for all.

Why Jon Paul Needs Your Blood. Gate City sponsors "Pint for a Pint" on Wed, Aug 3 "With our upcoming blood drive, I thought you might be interested to know how much blood we used in the last 12 months here in Roswell. That answer would be 2,546 units (or pints), which equates to almost 7 pints every day. Of this total, we used 390 units for massive blood transfusions and another 138 pints for other emergencies. For you or a friend to 'reserve a table' on Wed, Aug 3, click here to see availability and reserve your table.

After Hours hosted a social event Thursday: BYOB! No, that's not "Bring Your Own Beer," but beer was enjoyed. This BYOB was "Bring Your Own Board!" Several members used their creativity to set up food items on a fancy display. Think charcuterie, but way better! Yummy boards included a Mexican board, veggie board, chicken nugget board and chocolate-covered pretzel board. Members John Connell and Brooke Foxman live at a sweet spot at The Battery, so we enjoyed views of Truist Park while snacking, laughing and planning future projects! Rotary Last Week
