President's Message

Well done Roswell Rotary!

This week a group of Roswell Rotarians made a trip down to Panama to visit our Global Grant in the Darien jungle.  Thanks to this club's commitment to one of the seven areas of focus of Rotary international, two communities in this very remote part of the world are living better lives with clean water.   This trip included new Rotarians as well as seasoned veterans from our club and from our partner club in Panama City.   We built lifelong memories and experienced some new “Rotary Moments” in building new relationships with not only the native people of Darien but with other Rotarians. 

The value of being connected to the Rotary family both near and far became so evident when one of our travelers became ill the morning before departure while checking in for the flight back and was unable to travel.  Rotary members from Panama Nordeste stepped up and made the necessary arrangements for an extra day of recuperation.  Through numerous text messages and phone calls, one member called the hotel, one member’s wife was a pharmacist and made a delivery to the hotel, another planned for transportation back to the airport the following day.

Its great to be a Rotarian!

Don't forget to wear your Green this Thursday as we celebrate St Patrick's Day and Leadership 20/20.  See you there!
