President John's Message

I'm excited to host our District Governor George Granade this week at Rotary and share with him the many things that Roswell Rotary has already accomplished this year.  Things like:

• Launching the impactful Roswell Teen Talks podcast series developed by Wellstar and Roswell Rotary to address behavioral health with our teens in this stressful post-Covid world.
• Funding needed replacement tools and seed for the Unity Garden at the Chattahoochee Nature Center utilizing our district grant.
• Donating blood to the American Red Cross on a quarterly basis.
• Our Golf and Tennis Tournaments that raise funds for projects like the Teen Talks podcasts and support many local charities.
• Honoring our police and fire personnel with our 3rd Annual First Responders Cookout around 9-11.
• Hosting our second Rotary Youth Exchange student La Neige from Thailand.
• Hosting our latest GRSP student Emilio Ochoa from Columbia.
• Sending bottled water to Jackson, MS after historic flooding disabled the city's water system.
• Collecting trash as part of Rivers Alive along the Chattahoochee River.
• Spending a beautiful Fall day at Gary Garrett's farm for our annual Farm Day event.
• The budding partnership with the City of Roswell to redesign and revitalize a neighborhood park in Roswell's only high vulnerability zone.
• Building a float with the Interact clubs for the Youth Day Parade and taking home 2nd place, Civic division. 

And that's just the first three months!  Be there Thursday when DG George shares with us what our District is doing this year.
