His enthusiasm for service and dedication to making a difference truly embodies the Rotary spirit. Thank you, Mitch, for sharing your passion and wisdom with us. We look forward to seeing how your message continues to inspire our members to engage in meaningful community work.

Roswell Rotary Welcomes Samir Abdullahi from the Fulton Economic Council

This Thursday, Roswell Rotary is excited to host Samir Abdullahi, a prominent leader from the Fulton Economic Council, as our featured speaker. As an advocate for economic development across the region, Samir has played a pivotal role in fostering growth and prosperity for local businesses and communities. He will be sharing insights on the economic landscape of Fulton County, current initiatives, and future opportunities for collaboration.

The Fulton Economic Council has been instrumental in supporting a wide array of economic projects, from small business support to large-scale developments, and Samir’s vision continues to guide these efforts. Attendees can expect to learn about how Rotary and local organizations can partner with the council to strengthen economic resilience and improve the quality of life for our neighbors.

Roswell Rotary members are encouraged to attend and participate in this engaging discussion, which will highlight how our community service efforts align with economic development initiatives. As always, guests are welcome, and this is an excellent opportunity to invite potential new members to experience the value of Rotary.

Don’t miss this chance to learn more about how we can contribute to the ongoing success of our local economy. See you there!

Honor Air Trip April 9, 2025


Roswell Rotary Honor Air has now completed gathering US War veterans, America’s heroes, for a complimentary free day trip to visit their Memorials  in Washington DC on April 9,2025.

On April 9th, approximately seventy World War II, Korean, and Vietnam War veterans plus guardians, a doctor and emergency personnel will gather at the Roswell, GA Community Center in the early morning hours and travel by motorcoach to the Atlanta airport. They will fly on a chartered plane to Washington, D.C. where they will be escorted on buses from the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to the World War II Memorial. Then they will visit the Vietnam and Korean Memorials and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery. That same day they will return to the Reagan airport, fly back to Atlanta and then by bus to Roswell. Every veteran will have a volunteer guardian to personally assist them. Veterans will be encouraged to take advantage of the complimentary wheelchairs throughout the day.

Thanks to everyone who helped us to gather snacks, made donations, volunteered for the trip, and will be getting up early on April 9th to line the streets and see the buses off!

Donation Opportunity Chad Miller Roswell Fire Dept. Captain Emergency Management

Many in our Club know Chad Miller as the Captain of Emergency Services for Roswell Fire Department. What you may not know is the fight that his family is going through as his wife, Emma, faces surgery for breast cancer and a double mastectomy at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. A GOFUNDME has been set up by the Roswell Fire Dept Chaplain to help the family with their enormous expenses and a QR code is provided here if you would like to donate to help.
