President's Message
Preserving the Past

Have you noticed the landscaping and new LED sign at Roswell High School? The campus looks great.

In 1990, Past President Skipper Hoke was instrumental in building the front entrance marque.  In was dedicated from Roswell Rotary to the first graduating class.   A beautiful marker was placed on the marque.  The plaque served us well, but after 31 years needed to be replaced.

Thanks to Past President Trummie Patrick who handled arrangements for the new plaque.  A special thanks to Richie Rosebush of Lang Signs who generously donated and installed  it on behalf of Roswell Rotary.    

Our legacy continues.

World Polio Day/ Sat. Oct 24th
Pints for Polio - Have one on us!

World Polio Day is a time for Rotarians across the globe to raise awareness about our work to eradicate polio for good. If we stay committed to making progress, polio will be the second human disease ever to be eradicated!

In support of the cause, for every pint sold throughout the day, Gate City and Variant are donating to End Polio Now. Let's support Michael & Pat by bringing a friend and enjoying a brew at their place. 

Share that you are a Roswell Rotarian and the first one is on us!
