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

Our Past President moment this week will feature PP Dave Schmit.  It’s appropriate we learn about Dave’s year on the same day we have our Interact Clubs join us at Roswell Rotary.

Many years ago, Dave came up with the concept of Progressive Interact.  We had Interact at Roswell High School, but who ever thought we should include our middle and elementary schools.  Fast forward after more than 10 years and we have clubs in most of the Roswell High School cluster of elementary and middle schools.  And we also sponsor and support Interact Clubs at the Cottage School, Blessed Trinity, Fellowship, and Independence High Schools. 

For several years, Michael Schoppenhorst has been our Interact chair for the club, helping with organizing clubs, working with club teacher advisors, and recruiting club members as liaisons.  We owe a huge debt of thanks to Michael for all his efforts.

You don’t want to miss one of the best meetings of the year when we hear what our Interact Clubs accomplished during this school year.

Spring Interact Report
Program this Week: Michael Schoppenhorst and Project Updates

(Picture above is Michael Schoppenhorst with his son Andrew) Interesting story-Michael was introduced to Roswell Rotary through Andrew’s involvement in the Elkins Middle Interact Club!  And the rest is history!!

The Spring Interact Meeting is always a rewarding Rotary meeting.  We get to hear the projects our Interact Clubs completed through the school year.  What an inspiration. Additionally, we will be hearing from Interact Coordinator, Michael Schoppenhorst, as he hands over his reins to Bill Hoban after 5 years in this role.  He will talk about how decisions do impact your whole life and directly impact both those you know and don’t know.  He is also going to showcase some of his “high impact”

Rotarians.  See you Thursday. 

Past President Moment
Dave Schmit - 2013-2014

The District Governor Blake McBurney’s theme for 2013-14 was Indiana Blake and the Crusade.  Our own intrepid leader “Indiana” Dave led Roswell Rotary on expeditions to expand Interact in our schools, endow our Roswell Rotary Foundation for future generations, and even improve how we served lunch.  We capped the year off with the all-time largest scrapbook cover - the Ark of the Covenant.  Unfortunately, the Ark is now lost in some vast warehouse or other resting place, but come check out Dave’s scrapbook on the big screen before the meeting and hear what Roswell Rotary did in the Rotary year 2013-14.

Volunteer at the Unity Garden with After Hours

After Hours is set to volunteer at the Unity Garden at the Chattahoochee Nature Center again on April 29. The shift starts at 9 a.m. and goes until Noon. The plan is to work around the garden doing anything and everything they need, like picking weeds, organizing plants and potting.

Did you know? The Unity Garden grows fresh produce to be donated to the food pantry at North Fulton Community Charities. Fresh vegetables and greens are delivered once or twice a week.

All Rotarians are invited! Sign up here.
