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

Behavioral Health in Our Schools

With the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 innocent children lost their lives to a mentally ill young man, the timing of our effort to make an impact on behavioral health becomes even more important. Our club has made a significant and generous donation to the WellStar Health System's behavioral health services where this seed money will be used to develop a series of podcasts and videos aimed at students and parents to help identify, address, and tackle mental health problems and, hopefully, save lives.

Roswell Rotarians will be taking these tools out into the community to schools, churches, non-profit partners, and others. With this partnership, the Roswell Rotary Club will be the naming sponsor of the new emergency department family waiting room at WellStar North Fulton Hospital. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the WellStar organization to do our part to help those in need within our community.

If you had a chance to experience the Memorial Day celebration at City Hall, it was another great event. Thanks to the committee for doing another great job for the city of Roswell in honoring our armed services who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.


Author & Retired Trial Lawyer to speak
June 2 Speaker- Jim Thomas: The Integrity Imperative

Our speaker for June 2 is Jim Thomas, a retired trial lawyer and member of Mid-Town Atlanta Rotary. He is also the author of Integrity: The Indispensable Element. Click here for more information on his book before our meeting Thursday. 

Jim's speech, The Integrity Imperative, addresses performance with integrity--in personal, business, and professional life--and includes examples of integrity in action. Looking forward to a compelling, inspiring meeting!

Walk with a Doctor on Sat Jun 4 at 8:30am

This is a celebration and periodic check-in for  how you are doing with your doctor's advice to do something physical.  We're not judging; we're supportive.   If you want to look like President Terry and the many other svelte Rotarians, this is what the doctor ordered.  :-) 

Our walk will be to the historic grounds of  Roswell's Bulloch & Mimosa Hall. We'll start and end at Land of a Thousand Hills, 352 S Atlanta St, Roswell, GA 3007 --- free gourmet coffee for all walkers!

Thanks to the Friends of Mimosa Hall for the arrangement of the 2 and 3 mile walk options.

Our health talk will be "Skin protection or Overkill" by health and wellness coach Nancy Lovejoy.

Note: Our July walk will be Sat, Jul 16 at 8:30am to visit the Chatahoochee Nature Center's Butterfly Encounter and walk the trail at the nature center.

For questions, contact Hal Schlenger at HSchlenger@GreatSouthBenefits.com or 770.335.0077
