President's Message


Time to reflect.

As we close out our Rotary calendar year let me reflect on what we have accomplished as a club.   Looking at the numbers we have increased our membership by over 9% and have increased the percentage of our membership being women.  Much of the growth of our club has come because of the addition of our Roswell Rotary After Hours Satellite club which has lowered the average age of our membership!    Not only are we increasing our numbers, but the numbers don’t reflect the energy and passion that this new group of members brings into our club. 

A group of Roswell Rotarians made a trip down to Panama to view the very successful completion of our first global grant for $65K which seeded the ability to secure a second global grant in this region for $180K.  As a result of your generous giving, two new communities have fresh water delivered to their homes and more to come.  Roswell Rotarians you are changing the world! 

We have funded our Behavioral Health campaign with the WellStar foundation to help combat the growing problem in mental health within our community, focusing on our school aged children.   This effort will develop a series of professional podcasts and video tools which will be used to help those in need at our schools, churches and other NGO’s in our community and beyond. 

Our club is the most active club in the world!   Take a look at all of the service projects and activities we participated in and be proud Roswell Rotary!
