President Alex's Message

Fellow Rotarians:

I hope everyone enjoyed last week's speaker's presentation on Tenacious. What a wonderful Georgia story!

Fall is in the air! We are readying our Youth Day Parade Float- special thanks to Zach Fields and Jack Wyche and their float team for designing/building/driving our club's float. Also, please remember to bring your bags of candy (no chocolate) so that they can be distributed from the float by our interact members.

Do you ever wonder why we make floats, throw candy, and celebrate Youth Day with a parade? Please come this Thursday to find out from Elaine DeNiro  and our own RRC spouse, Judy Meer, President of Roswell Historical Society. We will also have Mayor Wilson and our Council doing their Youth Day Parade proclamation with the introductions of their youth stand-ins.

This month we also have our Corn Hole Tournament to raise funds to continue our fight against Polio as well as Gary Garrett's Family Farm Day!

We also need to remember to sign up veterans as well as service members for our Honor Bus Trip on November 10th as well as to provide supplies for our Adopt a Platoon and volunteers for our Veterans Basketball Fundraiser.

Many Hands Make Light Work!

Alex B. Kaufman

Roswell Rotary Club President
