President John's MessageLot’s happening at Rotary this month. This week we highlight our upcoming Golf and Tennis Tournaments with fun and games. We will hear from Frank Brown, one of the founders of our golf tournament 44 years ago. Last week Rennie Curran helped us all understand what Service Above Self means in our lives. His powerful message resonated with all in the house including football players from Roswell High and Fellowship Christian.
Chris Brand, from Tucker Rotary, updated us on 6 months of direct relief for Ukrainians that has been sent from our District 6900. Here is a link, if you would like to contribute to the District’s relief efforts: https://rotary6900.org/contribution/contribute?project=3936
Chris also told us about an event on August 23 and 24. Rotary International is hosting an International Forum for Supporters of Ukraine. Here is the video link about this event: https://fb.watch/eYQ7fKLwqS/ .

Awards for 2021-2022 Club Year
Roswell Rotary Earns Three Awards at 2021-2022 Final Lap Event
Roswell Rotary came away numerous awards including the membership and Governors award. And although there was not a "Club of the Year" award category this year, RR rocked the end of year celebration! This was icing on the cake after previously winning the Sheffield award at district. Past President Moment - Frank Brown - 1980-81
The 44th Annual Aubrey Greenway Golf Tournament tees off in September. In 1980, the Roswell Rotary Club was about to host its 3rd Annual Golf Tournament. The tournament was started in 1978 by Frank Brown, Judge Maurice Hillard, and former Roswell Mayor Aubrey Greenway. Our club had 80 members and met in the Community Activity Building in the room where we now serve our plates. Frank actually served almost two terms when President Charles Harmon had to move during his tenure. Come hear more about what was happening at Rotary at the start of the 80’s.
