Caroling, Wreaths, and Shining a Light
President John's Message
This week we end the year 2022 at Roswell Rotary with holiday fun and a message of Hope. Join us Wednesday night on Canton Street as we sing old Christmas favorites and enjoy hospitality starting at Michael Agurkis’s office at 6 PM. Thursday's meeting brings more fun with an ugly sweater contest, more singing, and message of Hope from Pastor Lee Jenkins. Saturday, we honor our departed veterans as we lay wreaths on their graves as part of Wreaths Across America. My wish for everyone this holiday season is to find Peace, Love, Hope and Joy!
Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! and a Happy New Year!

After Hours' last meeting of the year was the perfect combination of service and fun! The club got in the holiday spirit and collected gifts for Toys for Tots. Then, Rotarian and Gate City Co-Founder Pat Rains spoke to the club on the history of Gate City. It was amazing to hear about the brewery's humble beginnings and learn how they progressed into the Roswell staple they are today. Pat also provided a behind-the-scenes tour of the brewery and answered questions. Thank you, Pat, for everything Gate City does for not only our club, but the community!
