President Alex's Message



Fellow Rotarians-

I hope that everyone enjoyed last week's Speaker and our holiday party! I am particularly proud of our turnout and enthusiasm at the ChristKindl market and all the positive publicity and economic impact, that it has brought our Club, Friends of Bulloch and our city.  I am also thankful for everyone that has participated in our toy drives and volunteering at Bulloch Hall. 

Please remember to bring toys this Thursday, and next Thursday so that we can support our military families.Special thanks to Senator and Rotarian John Albers for inviting us to the Capitol on the 19th to see all of the beautiful decorations and for arranging our exciting upcoming speaker.

Season's greetings!

Alex

Consumer Protection Advocate and TV Journalist, Dale Cardwell to Speak


Life can be dangerous at times, but few people choose to face down danger to uncover facts and help their fellow man. Six-time Emmy award-winning investigative reporter, Dale Cardwell has spent his entire career busting bad guys, protecting consumers, and saving taxpayers millions of dollars.

His 34 years in television have taken him to newsrooms across the southeast, but Dale marks his 11 years with the powerhouse Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB as the crucible that formed who he is today. In 2009, Dale founded his consumer research and referral website trustdale.com. This site provides a forum where consumers can choose between companies which have met Dale’s seven-point investigative standard and be assured that their choice is backed up by the best consumer protection policy in the business, called the Trust Dale “Make-it-Right” guarantee. But Dale’s commitment to consumer protection doesn’t end there.

Dale and his team also investigate and expose bad companies that intentionally harm consumers. Dale lives in DeKalb county, Georgia with Angie, his wife of 33 years. The couple have two adult children who live with their spouses in Atlanta.

RRC Volunteers Needed- So Much Fun!
Bulloch Hall Gift Shop Volunteers at ChristKindl Market


Calling Rotarians to Volunteer... and Shop!! 

Ask anyone who has volunteered at the Bulloch Hall Gift Shop & Museum this past month during Christkindl Market. It's fun!  Roswell Rotarians are needed to work the check out desk in the Bulloch Hall Gift Shoppe right next door to Bulloch Hall.  Feel free to pass along to your spouse/partner/friend that you think might be interested. 

We ask that you sign up for a minimum of 2 shifts between now and Dec. 24th.   It’s easy! It’s fun!   It’s a great way to get involved.  Partner up with a friend as 2 people are needed per shift.  Click the link to sign up for your shifts. Remember this is a major project/fundraiser this year and we need you!  

Roswell Rotarians, use this link to sign up for a time slot to work at Bulloch Hall Gift Shoppe during the Christkindlmarket:

RRAH Ends 2023 With a Bang!



Roswell Rotary After Hours ended 2023 with a bang. The guest speaker was Mary Margaret Connell, John Connell's mother! She has worked as both a criminal attorney and an advertising & marketing executive.

The club loved hearing her "Top 10" careers tips and everyone walked away with a new idea or goal to incorporate into their work life. The club also gathered dozens of toys to be donated to a local family as part of their Adopt-A-Family service project.

The next RRAH meeting will be Jan. 16. Happy Holidays!
