President's Message
Time to reflect.
As we close out our Rotary calendar year let me reflect on
what we have accomplished as a club. Looking
at the numbers we have increased our membership by over 9% and have increased
the percentage of our membership being women.
Much of the growth of our club has come because of the addition of our Roswell
Rotary After Hours Satellite club which has lowered the average age of our
membership! Not only are we increasing our numbers, but
the numbers don’t reflect the energy and passion that this new group of members
brings into our club.
A group of Roswell Rotarians made a trip down to Panama to
view the very successful completion of our first global grant for $65K which seeded
the ability to secure a second global grant in this region for $180K. As a result of your generous giving, two new
communities have fresh water delivered to their homes and more to come. Roswell Rotarians you are changing the
world!
We have funded our Behavioral Health campaign with the WellStar
foundation to help combat the growing problem in mental health within our community, focusing on our school aged children. This effort will develop a series of professional
podcasts and video tools which will be used to help those in need at our schools,
churches and other NGO’s in our community and beyond.
Our club is the most active club in the world! Take a look at all of the service projects
and activities we participated in and be proud Roswell Rotary!

Past President's Dinner 2022 - Making Memories
Sharing some of the pictures from the annual Past Presidents Dinner. We all appreciate the contributions of each of these past presidents of the Roswell Rotary Club. We stand on their shoulders and they continue to help us build dreams for the future. If you are new to RRC, any one of these amazing individuals would be a great person to have a conversation with. They have so much to share and they will help to spark your own dreams for your future role in Roswell Rotary!
