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 Lynne Lindsey and all news should be directed to her at lynnehlindsay@outlook.com

Remembering Those Who Served

This week, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom as our Memorial Day committee leads our club meeting with a preview of our Roswell Remembers Memorial Day Ceremony next Monday.  Led by Past President Dave Young, we honor our fallen soldiers, sailors, and airmen who fought and died for our freedom.  This day is a great reminder that freedom is not free.  Many have paid the ultimate price so that we can maintain our many freedoms.   


This meeting is unique each year as we have the presentation of the Colors, listen to inspiring music, focus on the price of freedom, and give thanks for the sacrifice others made for our benefit.  We will forego the usual announcements, introduction of guests, happy dollars, and our weekly raffle.  We hope to see you all this Thursday for this special day.


TONIGHT: After Hours Welcomes Lt. Vance Rosen

Roswell Rotary After Hours will welcome Lt. Vance Rosen from the Henry County Police Department as their guest speaker tonight! He will share leadership wisdom he has learned from working as a detective and FBI task force officer. Everyone is invited! See you at The Artillery Room at 6:30!
