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 Lynn Dunn and all news should be directed to her at lynn.dunn@rmcpa.com
President's Message
If you missed last week’s meeting, well all I can say is, YOU MISSED IT, as this was not your normal Rotary Meeting!
Coach McFarlin and team pulled out all the stops by having Tim's celebrity professional football and baseball friends join us. Then he surprised everyone in the house with a live concert by the Mike Veal band. WE DANCED!
Susan Rumble organized the program with our very own Talaya Parker sharing how Home Stretch helps many local families like Gina Dubuisson’s. She shared her testimonial of her success in overcoming adversity and refocused her life with the help of Home Stretch and Roswell Rotary. WE CRIED!
And finally, Hal Coleman once again provided the humor at the end, offering to auction off and burn “the suit”. WE LAUGHED!
THIS is what Roswell Rotary is all about.
This week please invite your friends as Coach McFarlin and team will be the program where Steve Stroud will be auctioning off the chance to play golf with some big-name athletes. To top it off, we will auction off a performance by Mike Veal and band where the lucky winner may be having a party in the future with live entertainment. Come join us this week as we give back to the community and have fun doing it!
Tournament NEWS
Needed: Your Guests for 8-26 Meeting & Volunteers for Tournament
Thanks everyone for your energy and enthusiasm last week at our meeting! Our guests were BLOWN AWAY by our mission and our fun. But we can't rest yet.
Bring a Guest to our 8-26 meeting!
Our charities need for us to raise as much money as we can for them and next week is going to be a great opportunity. So bring a guest who would like the experience of playing golf with a fun foursomes of sports legends...Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, Jessie Tuggle, Verron Haynes, Victor Green, and so many more. Or bid on the Mike Veal Band for your next event. Or the amazing David Yurman Brown & Company jewelry donation. And buy balls for the ball drop. Yours might be the lucky one for the whole jackpot!
