FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynn Dunn and all news should be directed to her at lynn.dunn@rmcpa.com

Program Oct. 27- All about Roswell's Food Scene

Remember ordering food online and picking up curbside, many for the first time, two and half years ago when were locked down and couldn’t go out to eat like we used to do.  Restaurants were laying off staff and struggling to keep their doors opened.  Ryan Pernice came to our temporary home at the Holiday Inn and spoke to our club about the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on his restaurants and the restaurant industry in general.

Fast forward two years later - how is the restaurant industry faring? Are restaurants back in full swing post-COVID?  What are the biggest challenges faced in today's economic environment?  How has technology like Door Dash or Uber Eats impacted the business?  What does the future hold?

This week we will hear from three local veterans of the food industry whose businesses survived the pandemic in a panel discussion moderated by our own Gordon Owens.


Past President Moment - Allen (A.D.) Dalton 1999-2000


Remember Y2K?  Everyone was panicked about what would happen to our computer systems when the year 2000 rolled in on January 1. 

The other Rotary clubs in District 6900 should have been worried about Roswell Rotary as we started a string of Club of the Years that haven’t ended. 

Our President was A.D. Dalton in 1999-2000.  Please hear what else happened in A.D.’s year of leadership of Roswell Rotary.

TUE, OCT 25 NEW LOCATION: COMPUTER MUSEUM OF AMERICA
Why Does This Beer's Name Matter?

Imagine that you can save lives even though your chances are 2 out of 3 that you can't give blood.  The solution is simple: find a friend, family member -- or our favorite solution, your coworkers -- to donate a pint.  Not only will they get cookies and snacks, but they'll also get the Roswell-popular "Pint for a Pint" coupon from Variant Brewing, including the premiere of "Blood Orange Cashmere" to celebrate all blood donors!

Then share this link with the one who will 'giveth and receiveth' so that they can reserve a donor table of their choice.  

Questions should be directed to Darrell Bartlett at 770-883-7757 or Hal Schlenger at 770-335-0077.
