President Alex's Message
Fellow Rotarians: This week we unfortunately lost our friend, our Past President, and fellow Rotarian Judge Maurice Hilliard. Please keep his friends and family in your thoughts and prayers and stay tuned for memorial service information. Prior to his passing, we had begun evaluating an appropriate Club recognition for Maurice’s legacy and commitment to our community and Club. We will be presenting our proposal shortly.
This week we will be having a substantial number of visiting youth to our club. Please arrive on time to ensure that we can have everyone fed before the bell rings at 12:15.
Additionally, please remember our October 24 Corn Hall Tournament to raise funds for Polio at Lucky’s as well as our need to focus on our Adopt a Platoon (we are behind what we need to give) as well as to sign up veterans for our Honor Bus Trip to Ft. Benning/Moore on November 10th as well as to have volunteers for our Veterans Basketball Fundraiser.
Thank you for all you do,
Alex

RRAH Meeting Recap
Roswell Rotary After Hours had a jam-packed meeting last week! First, the club welcomed Rotarian Steve Stroud, the Executive Director of Roswell Inc--a nonprofit that promotes economic development through a public-private partnership with the City of Roswell. The club loved learning the unique and meaningful ways Roswell Inc. supports the local business community. Thank you, Steve! Next, RRAH officially welcomed two new members to the Rotary Family! Welcome, Will McFarlin and Taylor Schmidt!! And lastly, members brought in food items as part of a Thanksgiving food drive benefiting North Fulton Community Charities. RRAH members never hesitate to donate goodies to worthy causes, especially during the holidays. The next Roswell Rotary After Hours meeting will be Tuesday, Nov. 7th at 6:30 at The Artillery Room @ Gate City! There will be no scheduled speaker this week. Instead, members will partake in fellowship while organizing care packages for active duty military in honor of Veterans Day.
