**Rotary Members Show Strong Participation and Service in First Quarter**
Roswell Rotary Club is off to a fantastic start this year! We are thrilled to announce that 130 members have already received their Bunny shirts, showing great enthusiasm and unity within the club. With 228 members in total, there’s still a chance to grab your Bunny shirt in the coming weeks. Let’s aim for 100% participation!
Beyond the shirts, we’re also celebrating the incredible dedication of our members, who have actively engaged in over 15 service projects during the first quarter alone. From local community efforts to international outreach, your hard work is making a real impact. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to make a difference. Let’s keep up the momentum and continue to lead by example in service and fellowship!
**Cybersecurity Talk**
Last week's Rotary meeting featured an enlightening presentation on the
critical topic of cybersecurity. Tony, an expert in the field, provided valuable
insights into how individuals and businesses can protect themselves from the
growing threat of cyberattacks. Thank you to all who attended and to our guest speaker for such a valuable
session. As we continue to engage with important issues like cybersecurity, we
remain committed to empowering our members with the knowledge and resources
they need to navigate today's challenges.

Looking forward to hearing State Senator John Albers giving us a patriotic history lesson on our flag. Always a great day to hear from John, and thrilled to be learning more about our flag. Let's have a full house and bring visitors as well!

Youth Services is excited to announce a new event: A Multi-Generational Team Fishing Derby. Craig Fuller with Roswell Area Parks & Recreation has challenged Roswell Rotarians to launch our first derby! Once checked in, each team will make their own Bamboo Fishing Rod and proceed to the lake! Adults get a “coupon” for a free Gate City beer and Blessed Family cocktail. Youth will get a Junior Tackle Box and their bamboo fishing rod. There will also be an opportunity to earn tickets while fishing which can be spent at the Tackle Shop, where participants can trade tickets for fishing line, bobbers, weights, a pen knife or tweezers, hooks, etc.
Important Information:
Where: Between the Visual Arts Building and the Lake on the Roswell Area Park Campus
Sign-Up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F49ADAC29ABFAC43-51349028-multi
Fishing Teams: Ideally, a fishing team will have at least 3 members from at least 2 generations… parent-age/child, grandparent-age/child & child, etc. However, if you want to participate without a team, please sign up! There will be youth who need adults and adults who need youth for their teams. RRC, Jim Savage will break the ice and form teams.
Volunteer: In addition to the Derby's amazing committee made up of Priya Crumpton, Becky Nelson, Jim Savage, Mary Trapp, and Craig Fuller - 2 additional amazing committee members are needed.
Jim is looking for 5 strikingly adept volunteers to help in the Bamboo Rod-making area.
More Info: Contact Jim Savage JBSavages6@gmail.com

How did you get so far in life with doing or trying something different? In business and family. Most of weren't born into Rotary; we had to try it out.
Typical objections are texture and lack of taste. Lack of taste is easy: Juan and crew put a flavorful sauce on it...or you can eat it with any other more flavorful food on your plate -- including any salad item/dressing.
For texture, give Juan's crew's effort a chance. It is firm yet soft. Ready to be partnered with nearly anything else on your plate.
Why? We all have an increased need for protein as we age (more fried chicken....or, you guessed it, tofu) because:

Tofu, a popular plant-based protein made from soybeans, offers several health benefits
Think again. Eat more protein.

There is a better way to breathe, and not loose your breath while going for a walk or more strenuous exercise or work. And it's easier to do than you think.
Location: Indian Seats, 4075 Spot Rd, Cumming, GA 30040. A beautiful mountain top vista that might take your breath away. ;-)
