President's Message
So Proud
Last Tuesday, Bruce Smith and I proudly accepted an award from Roswell High School Track & Field honoring Roswell Rotary for our 24 years of service to Roswell Relays. The best part of the evening was learning about the students and their accomplishments. On Thursday we recognized the Tom Zachary, Stan Moses and Power of One scholarship recipients. Once again, my heart swelled as I listened to each students' achievements and heard of their plans. I am so proud of these outstanding young leaders. Their future is bright.
