President's Message
Happy 70th Anniversary!
Chartered April 18th, 1951, who could have imagined the impact Roswell Rotary would have on our community and abroad. Serving fried chicken and meeting at “the building under the water tower” I am certain no one dreamed that seventy years later we would be not only one of the strongest clubs in our district, but a club that is recognized worldwide. We could not have done it without each of you. Thanks for thinking big! Thanks for putting dreams into action! Happy 70th Anniversary Roswell Rotary!
