Honoring Lives Lost 9-11
President John's Message

This week we remember the 2,977 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 in the single largest foreign attack on American soil.  We honor the memory of 441 first responders - fire, police and EMS - who died that day trying to rescue those trapped in buildings that had been hit, the greatest loss of emergency responders on a single day in American history.

Last Saturday we honored our local Roswell first responders with our 3rd annual drive through cookout, serving all our firefighters and police officers on duty that day through two shifts.  Thanks to our 9-11 Committee for hosting the cookout, the many Rotarians who volunteered, the North Fulton Rotary Club with their donation of cookies and help, and the Interact students who so capably served from Blessed Trinity and Roswell High Schools. 

This week we continue to honor our first responders in our meeting when we welcome our Police Chief James Conroy and Fire Chief Joe Pennino and members of their departments.
