President Nancy's Message


Welcome Back to Our Weekly Meetings!

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to embark on an exciting year ahead. Our weekly meetings are resuming, and we look forward to reconnecting with each of you.  

 Special Guest Speaker: Nurse Behind the Historic Patient Transfer

We are honored to announce that our guest speaker will be the nurse who orchestrated the remarkable logistics to move 202 patients from Egleston Hospital to the newly opened Arthur M. Blank Hospital in just 12 hours. This unprecedented feat involved coordinating 65 ambulances and collaborating with over 15 state and local agencies, including Georgia State Patrol and local police departments. The move began at 7:30 a.m. and lasted for 12 hours, as anticipated.  

Our speaker will share firsthand insights into the planning, challenges, and triumphs of this historic operation, offering valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and crisis management.

Passing of Past President 1987-1988 Trummie Patrick Sr.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Trummie Patrick, Sr., a beloved member of our Roswell Rotary family and Past President (1987-88). Trummie passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. As we reflect on Trummie’s years of service and leadership within our club, we are reminded of the impact he made on Roswell Rotary and the community at large. His dedication to Rotary’s ideals of service and fellowship will always be remembered and cherished.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, January 24, at 2:00 pm in the Sanctuary of First Baptist Church Roswell located at 710 Mimosa Boulevard, Roswell GA 30075.

Speaker this week: Amanda Grindle-How Children's Hospital Moved Patients to New Arthur Blank Hospital


 We are all so thankful for the nurses and doctors that care for us when we need it most.

 Join us this week for Amanda Grindle MSN, RN, CNL, CCRN, CPN.

Amanda Grindle has been at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for 16 years and is the Hospital Planning Director where she has been responsible for the transition and activation planning for Children’s new 460 bed hospital campus, Arthur M. Blank Hospital, and attached 16-story outpatient facility. 

 She led move day activities to safely transport more than 200 patients from one hospital location to another in under 10 hours. She also developed new clinical and operational workflows needed for staff to care for patients in a new facility and innovated processes to ensure the highest level of long-term efficiency in provision of patient care and support services. 

Furthermore, Amanda served as the clinical lead for technology, scope planning, workflows, and implementation at Arthur M. Blank. Don't miss this fascinating speaker!

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.
