Perfect Day for 2022 Golf & Tennis Tournament


Another successful Golf & Tennis Tournament is in the books.  Many thanks go out to the many volunteers in our club and non-profit community that help us last Monday!  Kudos to the planning committee for another great day!  Now is the time to turn our attention to our many Fall activities.

This week we hear from Emilio, our GRSP student from Columbia, and La Neige, our Rotary Youth Exchange student from Thailand.  Should be fascinating to hear about their home countries and families and their first few weeks of school here in Georgia.

A week from Saturday, October 1, is our annual Farm Day picnic at Gary Garrett’s farm.  What a great opportunity to get out in the country with your family, your kids, and your grandkids.  Something for everyone.  See the announcement below for more details and how to sign up.  

And Youth Day is just around the corner.  Want to help build our float - check in with Zach Fields, Jack Wyche or Ken Briggs to see how you can help.

GRSP & RYE Students
September 22 Program: Emilo Ochoa & La Neige



It's a tradition at Roswell Rotary that we offer our Georgia Rotary Student Program (GRSP) and Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) students the opportunity to tell us about themselves, their families, their country, etc. at a meeting early in the school year.  In this week's program, we will hear from our GRSP and RYE students :Emilio Ochoa(Columbia) and La Neige (Thailand). Their first month has been jam packed with new experiences. Be at Rotary Thursday to hear their stories!
