Once again, we learn from our youth as the winners of the Laws of Life essay contests from Roswell High and Independence High share their essays at Roswell Rotary. Character matters. For me, character is doing something right when no one is looking. It is built through a series of life experiences—good and bad. Choosing how each of us responds to our experiences is all we can control in this life. In living our lives, we can choose honesty, courage, perseverance, patience, gratitude, self control, hard work, helping others and, above all, we can choose love. As Rotarians, we choose to inspire others through Service Above Self and the tenets of the Four Way Test. On Thursday, come be inspired by these students who have chosen to write about a life experience and how they responded.

Thursday also kicks off the 2018-2019 District Conference in Sandestin! District Governor Court’s theme “Have Fun and They Will Come” encouraged all of us to have fun at Rotary this year and no one does that better than Roswell Rotary. Over 70 Rotarians and family members will be having fun at the beach! 20 of us will be competing in the Big Wheel Races on Thursday night. Watch social media to share in the Roswell Rotary FUN and important updates! Finally, please welcome back to the podium Past President Jeff McCoy as he leads our meeting this week!

Have a great week and we will do our best to HAVE FUN at District Conference in the Roswell Rotary tradition!

President Becky
