Dan Garrett Speaker & Author From Poles to pews

We welcome Dan Garrett, author of "From Poles to Pews: How America's Most Infamous Strip Club Became a Church"  to Roswell Rotary to learn how the infamous Pink Pony was reborn as a place of worship-.and what a story!

His presentation will focus on the topics of taking a risk, disrupting the status quo, working as a team, and other aspects of starting something from scratch. These lessons we all can use as we strive to serve!
