Message from the President


Welcome to Our New Members!

We are excited to welcome our newest members to the Roswell Rotary family: Queen Brown, Deb Perkins, David Houck, Peter Saddler, and Steve Money. Each of you brings unique talents and experiences, and we are thrilled to have you join us in serving the community.

A special thanks to Dan Corso for his insightful presentation on the elite sporting events coming to Atlanta, including the FIFA World Cup. His updates on the exciting opportunities for our city were truly inspiring.

We look forward to working alongside our new members and continuing our mission of service above self!

Leadership 20/20: Empowering Our Future Leaders

One of the highlights of the year is our involvement with Leadership 20/20, where we have the privilege of hosting emerging student leaders from every corner of the Roswell High School campus. This program is a fantastic opportunity for these students to learn about leadership, personal growth, and the importance of service to others.

As part of their experience, the students will join our Rotary meeting to hear from Past President Dave McCleary, a leading advocate for ending human trafficking. Dave’s powerful message about keeping young people safe and empowering them to make a difference will no doubt inspire the next generation of leaders.

Leadership 20/20 continues to be a cornerstone of our commitment to nurturing youth leadership, and we are honored to support these bright young minds as they prepare to take on the challenges of tomorrow.
