FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynn Dunn and all news should be directed to her at lynn.dunn@rmcpa.com

President John’s Message

Roswell Rotary leads District 6900 in support of Interact clubs in our schools.  Just about every school in the Roswell High School cluster of elementary and middle schools have an Interact club that we sponsor.  In addition, we have clubs at Independence High School, the Cottage School, Blessed Trinity Catholic High School and Fellowship Christian School.  And more are on their way.  Vickery Mill Elementary is starting a club this year and Queen of Angels is exploring the idea. 


Roswell Rotarians with a heart for our kids and education volunteer to be liaisons to these Interact clubs from our club.  It is a great way to get involved in our club and make a difference in the lives of our children in our community.  If this is of interest, let Michael Schoppenhorst or Becky Nelson know. We can always use new folks stepping up to help.

And don’t miss this week when we will hear from the kids in these clubs as they share with us their activities and goals for this school year.

Building Community By Giving
Nov 3 Program: Interact Clubs & Jason Weatherford, Exec Director RHS Jr. Hornets

Looking forward to one of the most inspiring meetings of our Rotary year.  The Interact Clubs are coming to tell us what they have done and what is upcoming on the calendar for this 2022-2023 academic year. 

After their reports, then RHS Jr Hornets Executive Director, Jason Weatherford, will talk a bit about “Building Community by Giving”.  "Giving time and volunteering has built a great community for myself and my family.  Our organization and wonderful volunteers of coaches and parents are make the Jr Hornets a success for all the kids involved". 

Past President Moment - Rick Dreger 1998-99

Last week we heard from Allen (AD) Dalton about starting the tradition of being recognized as the Club of The Year by District 6900.  This week we back up a year and hear from Past President Rick Dreger.  That year we elected our first woman Treasurer to our board who later became our first woman president.  Come hear what else we did or didn’t do in the Rotary year 1998-99.

We Are Back for Honor Air!
Honor Air Basketball Tournament-Nov. 19, 21, 22


What Roswell Rotary volunteer opportunity provides the chance to honor our veterans, be involved with student athletes, make your star crock pot specialty, serve food to coaches and referees, and spend some one-on-one time with your fellow Rotarians- new and seasoned? It's Honor Air Basketball Tournament for sure!!!

The tournament is held at Roswell High School ( 11-19, 11-21, and 11-22 )  and we will need  volunteers to help man the ticket sales table at the gym and others to assist in the hospitality suite for lunches and dinners we will be providing on those days .  A perfect opportunity for new members to assimilate to the Club and for the Satellite Club to help the Parent Club with an important project. The energy of the students and the happiness of our volunteers makes this a very special volunteer moment. We hope you will say YES to being a part of this event that raises money to honor our veterans!

Questions about volunteering can be answered by contacting Dave Young nfultonpt@juno.com, Gene Beckham gene@bfsga.com, Lynne Lindsey lynnehlindsay@outlook.com , or Jack Wyche javic@msn.com
