President's Message
Staying Positive

With everything in our lives seemingly cancelled for the short term it is always great to see signs that hope is not lost. Every interaction I have, every time I walk around Roswell or when I was delivering groceries to family members this week, I see people who hope for the best. People who are not consumed by the news or over burdened with worry, but people who are making the best out of a bad situation. I hope you all are staying safe and using this time to connect with family, get that project done or just relax and enjoy a break from what is typically a frantic pace of life.
