No Meeting this Week or Next Week- Mark Your Calendar

The gym will be empty. There will be no fried chicken in the kitchen, no tables filled with your RRC friends, and no cars in the parking lot. So if you show up, you will be hungry and alone. but there are two good reasons!

Instead of our regular meeting on Thursday, June 29th RRC will witness the changing of the guard at Incoming President Alex Kaufman's Installation Party. We will see you at 5:30 at Roswell Garden. Be sure to purchase your ticket! CLICK HERE

And instead of meeting on Thursday, July 6th, we wish you and your family a Happy 4th of July Holiday and hope you can attend the Fireworks at Roswell Area Park on the 4th beginning at sunset. CLICK HERE  

Alex begins his 2023-2024 year on Thursday, June 13th so looking for a full house on that date!!

Thursday, July 29
Communications 101- Meet us at Gate City


Do you need to tell the Club about an RRC project? Or have pictures from one of the Club events that you want to share? Or are you a Board member? Or just want to work with the uber cool (at least in our eyes) Communications Staff? Or are you a new member wanting to really plug in and be in the know?

Then join us on Thursday, June 29 at 4pm at the back building of Gate City.

The clinic is open to all RRC members, but especially recommended for new board members, committee chairs, and members who have communications skills or would like to learn them! Contact Kathy Igou kligou@gmail.com or Darrell Bartlett darrell.bartlett@allegion.com for more info. See you there!

Comedy for a Cause Recap

They say laughter is the best medicine, and plenty of laughs were had at last night's first annual Comedy for a Cause fundraiser presented by Roswell Rotary After Hours! The weather could not have been more perfect as we gathered with friends and family to chuckle and giggle on a lovely summer evening. THANK YOU to everyone who purchased tickets and donated--your contributions greatly support After Hours' mission of putting "service about self."⚙️ Thank you to the comedy show committee members for their hard work, and thank you to Lucky's and Rotarian Ted Lescher for being a gracious and outstanding host! Event photos can be found on the RRC Facebook page. See you next year!

Amazing fireworks and a fun event. No RRC tent this year, but amazing fireworks celebration, so come join in the fun!

What's New at Lunch?
RRC Goes Family Style Beginning July 13

Close your eyes and think of the last family style dinner you attended. Do you see platters of food being passed around, smell the aroma of the food, hear the easy conversation around the table, laughing and talking together, and feel the warmth of  fellowship?  That's the new lunch time vibe RRC is seeking as we move from the buffet line to family style service at our tables each week. We all want to have more time with each other, getting to really talk with our guests, developing relationships with new members, and catching up with old friends. So be ready to change things up on Thursday,July 13th! And yes, we will still have fried chicken!
