"The List"
For those who were at last week's
meeting, we were treated to a great presentation by Past President Maurice
Hilliard where he tapped into our thoughts of influential individuals from all
areas of leadership and asked the question, who's list are you on for being an
influence in their lives? As Rotarians, it's our job to leave this place on
"The LIST" of many.
During
the course of the year we have heard many guest speakers talk about the growing
need to address the problems associated with mental health disorders.
This topic has hit home with many past and present Rotarians. This
week we hosted our first Behavioral Health Advisory Council meeting with Dr. Breshears and his WellStar staff to provide constructive feedback on what is
needed in the Roswell community leading to a successful awareness and education
campaign for our school aged children. This group included numerous
Rotarians, social workers from schools, leadership from our NGO's, behavioral
health specialist and the Mayor of Roswell. The group provided
constructive dialog on what is needed in our community to help those in
need. With this information, our partners at WellStar will develop tools
to take into our community to help curb the spread of mental health disorders.
It's
great to be a Rotarian.
