President
John's Message
I'm
excited to host our District Governor George Granade this week at Rotary and
share with him the many things that Roswell Rotary has already accomplished
this year. Things like:
- Launching the impactful Roswell Teen Talks podcast
series developed by Wellstar and Roswell Rotary to address behavioral
health with our teens in this stressful post-Covid world.
- Funding needed replacement tools and seed for the
Unity Garden at the Chattahoochee Nature Center utilizing our district
grant.
- Donating blood to the American Red Cross on a quarterly
basis.
- Our Golf and Tennis Tournaments that raise funds for
projects like the Teen Talks podcasts and support many local charities.
- Honoring our police and fire personnel with our 3rd
Annual First Responders Cookout around 9-11.
- Hosting our second Rotary Youth Exchange student La
Neige from Thailand.
- Hosting our latest GRSP student Emilio Ochoa from
Columbia.
- Sending bottled water to Jackson, MS after historic
flooding disabled the city's water system.
- Collecting trash as part of Rivers Alive along the
Chattahoochee River.
- Spending a beautiful Fall day at Gary Garrett's farm
for our annual Farm Day event.
- The budding partnership with the City of Roswell to
redesign and revitalize a neighborhood park in Roswell's only high
vulnerability zone.
- Building a float with the Interact clubs for the Youth
Day Parade and taking home 2nd place, Civic division.
And
that's just the first three months! Be there Thursday when DG George
shares with us what our District is doing this year.

TUE, OCT 25 NEW LOCATION: COMPUTER MUSEUM OF AMERICA
Why Does This Beer's Name Matter?
Imagine that you can save lives even though your chances are 2 out of 3 that you can't give blood. The solution is simple: find a friend, family member -- or our favorite solution, your coworkers -- to donate a pint. Not only will they get cookies and snacks, but they'll also get the Roswell-popular "Pint for a Pint" coupon from Variant Brewing, including the premiere of "Blood Orange Cashmere" to celebrate all blood donors!
Then share this link with the one who will 'giveth and receiveth' so that they can reserve a donor table of their choice.
Questions should be directed to Darrell Bartlett at 770-883-7757 or Hal Schlenger at 770-335-0077.

RHS Career Day
We are coming up on a very special day! It is Career Day for
Roswell High School on Thursday, Nov 17th. You may have participated before, or
you may have always wanted to shape the minds of young brilliance. This is your
opportunity!
We will be looking to fill spaces immediately for our day (7:30 – 3:30), in 20-minute slots. Let’s make it fun for the 30-35 young minds (each session) that you will be engaging. You can demonstrate what you do to youth by bringing props and wearing what you would wear to work: uniform, equipment, suit/tie!
This is the time to show a new generation about this exciting career path! What should you talk about you are thinking? It should be whatever projects that you work on in your career. Be you-very engaging! You can even sprinkle questions throughout the crowd for them to ask you! This may be the time to break out your company's swag or marketing materials if you choose.
Don't wait until the last minute to sign up, so you will have enough time to complete the virtual volunteer training by November 14th. It should only take about 20 minutes to complete and can be found at https://www.fultonschools.org/Page/9539.
You don't want to miss this opportunity! There is going to be a rush to fill these spaces, so sign up today.
