Mayor Kurt Wilson to Speak on the State of the City


A bold risk-taker, Kurt left the comfort and success of working in corporate America to build small businesses.  As a job creator, mentor, and leader, Kurt has achieved the American Dream through multiple successful business ventures and by cultivating strong relationships with employees, business partners, executives, and fellow entrepreneurs.  Kurt is a proud husband to Stacey and the father of four daughters, each of whom keeps him grounded in their own unique way.  Through his family and life experiences, Kurt is committed to helping others aspire to achieve their own American Dream through a solid foundation on God’s gifts to him of vision, acumen, reason, kindness, tenacity, ability to execute, and love and service to his fellow man which propelled him to be elected Mayor of Roswell, Georgia, in November 2021.

Holiday Dinner at American Legion Post 201-Volunteers needed


On Friday January 24, 2025 (Note Date Change) , Roswell Rotary is hosting the Christmas Dinner for the Veterans of the American Legion Post 201 and the Alpharetta VFW at the American Legion Post 201 located at:

201 Wills Road

The dinner is to be held at 6 pm. This is an annual sit-down dinner event for our Veterans. Roswell Rotary will be providing the dinner, and the Rotary Club of North Fulton will be providing the desserts. Rick Silver, who is a Mentalist, will be providing a dynamic entertainment show for the Veterans that will be no less than spectacular and fun!

We are looking for 5 people for set up and break down and at least 10plus servers. As we will be serving the Veterans in their seats. We will need to set up an assembly line of food plate preparers and then hand them off to the servers who will physically serve the Veterans. They will also clear the plates when completed.
