January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month.  In my opinion, no one in Rotary has done more to combat this scourge than our own PP Dave McCleary.  Last week he reminded us of the ongoing efforts Rotary is making on six continents to help bring an end to human trafficking.  We heard stories about individuals hearing this message and taking steps in their communities which directly led to rescuing teens and young adults from this form of slavery.  Rotary clubs and Interact clubs dedicated to ending human trafficking are forming around the globe.  Roswell Rotarians have opportunities this month to get involved. 

On January 17th, Dave will lead a team effort of Roswell Rotary, Roswell Police Department, and GBI to provide training for our law enforcement personnel in Roswell, Alpharetta, and North Fulton County.

On January 21st, we can learn about trafficking occurring in our own neighborhoods and community.  Shine a Light on Human Trafficking is sponsored by the Alpharetta Rotary Club and End Human Trafficking Now and is open to all who want to find out how we can protect our children. 

 Information on both these events follows in this Rotascope.
