President's Message
Roswell Rotary Rocks

September 10will be a day of fun, fellowship and fundraising with golf, tennis, silent auction and After Party! We will draw the name of the winner for the 2 tickets to Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta in Feb. You have to purchase a ticket to win! Our goal is to have EVERY member participate in a meaningful way!

We raised over $6000 last Thursday with the Ball Drop Competition and $1600 selling raffle tickets at the RHS football game on Friday night! It has been great to see so many members engaged in raising money to help the Roswell community!

THANK YOU to those of you who are working hard on the tournament, sponsoring golf and tennis, organizing tennis clinics, bringing in auction items and buying and selling raffle tickets! Together, we will make this the BEST YEAR EVER! Let’s finish strong!

This Week's Speaker
Matthew Gambill

Our speaker this week is Matthew Gambill, Executive Director for the Georgia Association for Career & Technical Education. He will update us on the state of career and technical education in Georgia. As you know, Roswell Rotary has supported construction education in the Roswell cluster of schools for the last several years. There are now construction clubs in 6 of our elementary schools, construction classes in both middle schools and RHS is the only construction education program in North Fulton. This year, through a $10,000 District Grant, we will purchase more construction equipment for RHS, and at the direction of Dale Hales our RHS construction teacher, help with in class instruction, mentoring and serving on the advisory board. Our members will also continue to volunteer with Toolbox, the construction clubs at the elementary schools. It is vital for our students to know that there are lots of options after high school and our construction industry professionals need a pipeline of trained students coming out of high school. This is a national issue and being addressed by people like Mike Rowe who is working to close the skills gap in America.
