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 Lynne Lindsey and all news should be directed to her at lynnehlindsay@outlook.com

Message from the President


At our last meeting, we dove into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence with an introduction to ChatGPT. It was eye-opening, informative, and, surprisingly, a lot of fun! We learned how AI is transforming industries, making our lives easier, and even helping us create more efficient service projects.  But here’s the twist—this article you’re reading was actually written by ChatGPT! It’s a great reminder that technology isn’t just for serious work; it can add a bit of creativity and enjoyment, too. If you want more info on this exciting technology please reach out to our speaker, John’s Creek  President Dave Bernard dbernard@intellectiongroup.com.

**Upcoming Meeting: The Importance of Patient Advocacy**

At some point in our lives, we’ve faced moments when overwhelmed with navigating the healthcare system—whether for ourselves or a loved one. Whether it’s understanding a complex diagnosis, coordinating care, or simply feeling lost in medical jargon, many of us have wished for someone by our side who could provide clear guidance, advocate for our needs, and ensure our voices are heard. Our next Rotary meeting will explore this vital topic of patient advocacy.  The discussion will highlight practical ways to become a more effective advocate, whether for your healthcare journey or when supporting others. Join us for this insightful meeting and be prepared to leave empowered with knowledge and tools to help others when they need it most.

As we look toward the school year, our Youth Services programs gear up.  If you are already committed to a role or want to explore one, please attend the Youth Services Meeting after our general meeting this Thursday in classroom #1.  Not only are our 10 Interact Clubs ready to roll BUT also our 3 new ones!  It is so exciting.  We have new programs and projects which means we need new volunteers... So whether you want to be part of an ongoing year-round program like as an Interact Club Liaison, Sneaker Collection, or an event like the Fishing Derby or Career Days at RHS and The Cottage School, make a point to see how you can be a servant leader to our next generation.

Wellstar NF Hospital Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Karim Godamunné to Speak

Dr. Karim Godamunné is the Chief Medical Officer for Wellstar North Fulton Hospital. He provides leadership in clinical operations, safety and quality, innovation, and many other facets of healthcare. At Wellstar North Fulton Dr. Godamunné co-led the hospital’s State level Baldridge initiative and achieved the Oglethorpe Award for the hospital in 2022. Dr. Godamunné provided critical leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic in the hospital and the community. He organized a Community Collaborative of twenty organizations to reach out to the Hispanic community reducing the hospitalizations in the Hispanic community by fifty percent. Dr Godamunne gives back to the community by serving on the Board of North Fulton Community Charities and as an active member of the Alpharetta Rotary.

Diamond Sponsor
Patsy & Bill Wolff "Why we sponsor"

Patsy & Bill Wolff are strong supporters of Roswell Rotary's Golf & Tennis Tournament every year. We asked Bill about his reasons for always supporting this effort at such a high level and this was his response.

"Patsy was one of the first women to join Roswell Rotary and she loved being a member. As many of you know, her health is such that she cannot now participate. When I was invited to join, it gave me an opportunity to represent her with the Roswell Rotary club. 

Our membership enables us to financially assist many organizations that we otherwise probably would not be aware of their needs. In doing so, Patsy and I are following the mandate, “ to whom much is given, much will be required.” Luke 12:48

Additionally, RRC reaches many people in a positive way in other parts of the world! It is an amazing organization!"

We will have a special banner displayed on the stage behind the podium at our meetings in honor of Patsy & Bill Wolff, our first Diamond sponsors. They are with us every week in our hearts and minds as we meet together- reminding us of our mission of Service Above Self.


Wine & Liquor Pull Donations Requested

Calling all Rotary members to bring in one bottle of wine or bourbon worth $25+ for the Tournament. This one activity raised almost $2000 last year so your donations help further the mission of Rotary.
