Let the Fireworks Begin

Time to kickoff a new Rotary year in true Roswell Rotary fashion - Partying and Fireworks !!  

Thursday we say thanks to "soon to be Past" President Terry and install the new board and officers at Gate City Brewing along with BBQ and the Bluegrass inspired band Crooked Wits. Hope to see you there! See Installation Party Details Below. Link to register

Next Monday, the Fireworks really begin with our annual Fourth of July picnic. We will set up in the Roswell Place neighborhood, home to many Roswell Rotarians, and watch the City’s annual fireworks extravaganza from Roswell Area Park next door.  See the announcement below for more details.

I’m truly excited to serve as your President for 2022-23 and with your help, I know we will have another great Rotary year.  Roswell Rotary Rocks !

RRAH Meeting Recap
After Hours Learns about GRSP and Rotary Foundation

After Hours had a great meeting last week! John Carruth and Leslie Bassett spoke about the Rotary Foundation. It was great to learn what the foundation does and how After Hours can get involved. Then, Georgia Rotary Student Program participant Panashe Sivindani spoke about her experience in GRSP. It was very interesting and insightful to learn about the program, and Zimbabwe! 



Lucky's For a Cause!

Thank you to everyone who came out to After Hour's first ever percentage night! 10 percent of proceeds will be donated to the Veterans Empowerment Organization. It was a FUN night and it felt great to support an amazing organization while having fun with Rotarians and friends!
