Thanks to all that helped setup or break down and a special thanks to Gary Garrett for opening up his farm for our families to come enjoy the beautiful fall day and some fellowship together. It was a fun event!
Ed Klass, PTA President and member of our club will lead a panel of educators from Roswell area schools including Stacey Perlman, Steve Palmer and Robert Shaw. Today's always on, connected world has its advantages and disadvantages. Hear from our members who are molding our future leaders on why they got into education, what challenges they face and what drives them to continue to push their students to succeed.
We need candy to toss to the crowd during the Youth Day Parade next weekend. Please bring a bag or two with you to Rotary this week. Thanks!
We are collecting supplies to send to the Bahamas for Hurricane Dorian relief. Please bring supplies to donate to Rotary over the next several weeks.

Jeff McCoy is organizing another Patriot Flight, a project he did during his year as President of Roswell Rotary. Flight is tentatively scheduled for later this fall and will involve taking 30-40 of Roswell's first responders to New York City for a day meant to honor their service to our community. If you are interested in helping plan or sponsoring the next trip please reach out to Jeff at 678-852-4297.
As we approach the end of the year we all get inundated with requests for giving and we ask that you consider the Rotary International Foundation when planning your year end donations. The club will match your gift dollar for dollar up to $300. That means your next Paul Harris Fellow only cost $700 instead of $1000. Please see Michael Agurkis if you are interested in taking advantage of the matching funds.
Our club meeting falls on Halloween this year and we have some spooky fun planned. Our Interact Clubs will be with us to kick off the year, so come dressed up to compete in a club costume contest, help us provide treats to the students and hear ghost stories from Roswell Ghost Tours. The kids will love this and we might have a little fun too!
Join us at Houck's for a drink and appetizers or stay for dinner. In honor of World Polio Day a portion of the proceeds with go to Rotary International's Polio Plus fund. Bring friends and family to help us pack the porch and raise money for a great cause. We hope to see you there.
The North Fulton Rotary Clubs are hosting a GRSP weekend and looking for volunteers to host students. This is a great way to meet some awesome kids from around the world. Hosting starts by picking your group up in Alpharetta on Friday evening and ends by dropping them off on Sunday morning to head back to school. In between you feed them breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings and join the whole group (including your family) for dinner on Saturday night. If you are interested in hosting, please contact Alex Kaufman at (404) 964-5587.
