President Nancy's Message


Roswell Rotary Thanksgiving Newsletter

As we gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving season, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for each of you. Six months into the Rotary year, we have already achieved incredible things together, and I couldn’t be more honored to serve as your president.

Fundraising & Grants

Thanks to your dedication, we’ve netted over  $195,000 for charities, secured a $15,000 collaborative grant to help end human trafficking, and received a $5,000 grant for ADA-accessible picnic tables at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Additionally, we were awarded a $2,000 community grant to provide hats, gloves, scarves, and socks for 218 children in the Star House program, making sure they stay warm this winter. We’ve also collected over $20,000 for Foundation giving—an inspiring show of support for Rotary’s global initiatives.

Bunny Service Shirts

Our Bunny program continues to spread joy with 141 people receiving Bunny shirts and 33 receiving Bunny awards for their outstanding service. Altogether, we’ve completed over 30 service projects and events so far this year, truly living out Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self.” I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished and so grateful for your commitment to energize Roswell through the magic of Rotary. Your passion for service has made all the difference, and I’m honored to lead such an amazing group of Rotarians.

Next Six Months

But we’re not done yet! With six months still ahead of us, I know we can continue to make an even greater impact. Wishing you and your family a blessed and joyful Thanksgiving. Thank you for all you do! Remember to join us at the December 5 meeting when Roswell Mayor Kurt Wilson will speak.
