President's Message
A great day of service
The Rotary theme for March, Water and Sanitation, asks us to focus on the life changing improvements that we can make to provide a more readily available and healthy supply of water to all people. Roswell Rotary was proud to host Sweep the Hooch at Riverside Road. Thanks to Dutch Earle for organizing. Eleven hundred volunteers made a meaningful difference in the health of our watershed. Thanks to all of you and our community volunteers for serving.
This Week's Speaker
GSU President
Since beginning his tenure as Georgia State University’s seventh president in 2009, President Mark P. Becker has led Georgia State through a dynamic period of growth and advancement and put it on a trajectory to reshape itself and its region. Under his leadership, the university has pursued a 10-year strategic plan through which Georgia State has emerged as one of the nation’s leading higher education institutions. Georgia State’s consolidation in 2016 with Georgia Perimeter College, a two-year institution with five campuses in metro Atlanta, raised its student population to more than 53,000 and made it the largest university in Georgia and one of the largest in the nation. One of the most diverse universities in the U.S., Georgia State is a national model for student success, setting records for its graduation rates and the number of students it graduates, and leading the country in eliminating disparities in student achievement based on race, ethnicity and income. Georgia State has built a burgeoning research enterprise, growing sponsored research at more than twice the national rate. The university has been recognized as a major catalyst for the revitalization of downtown Atlanta and the economic vitality of its region.

Easter Egg Hunt
Every Easter, children across the country rush around their homes and gardens searching for chocolate eggs. For many families Easter just is not Easter without the annual egg hunt. We will be joining in the fun this year with an Easter Egg Hunt at the Drake House. Volunteers are needed to hide eggs and enjoy the hunt with the children. We will set up at 9:30 with the hunt beginning at 11:00. Bring your children/grandchildren 8 years and under. Donations of plastic eggs and candy without nuts are appreciated. Contact Cathy Steffen if you can help and if you will be bringing children. Cathy90278@yahoo.com Cell: 310-779-3207
