Hello Roswell Relay Volunteers!
I can't thank you all enough for the time and effort this past Saturday at the Rotary Relays.
Becky and the coaches had everything planned perfectly and the weather cooperated! We had over 1,000 high school athletes from 25 schools participate. The fantastic food from our sponsors and tireless work of Mindy and the hospitality crew kept everyone fed. Our 55 Rotarian and Interact volunteers made sure that things kept moving smoothly throughout the day.
I repeatedly heard how much it means to the coaches and bus drivers to receive such great hospitality and have organized volunteers - this is truly a standout Roswell Rotary event.
Great work everyone! and to those of you who have not been a part of Roswell Relays before, jump on in! I promise, it is one of the most fun projects of the year!

The Annual "Sweep the Hooch" is On! March 23, 2024 - 9am to 12pm. This is a joint event sponsored by the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper and supported through Roswell Rotary, Trout Unlimited, Keep North Fulton Beautiful and several other organizations. In 2023, Sweep the Hooch set record-breaking totals again! With almost 1,400 volunteers, we removed a total of 32 TONS of trash from 64 cleanup sites throughout our watershed. We need Walkers, Waders and Floaters to clean up the “Hooch” along Riverside Road, including the trails, the riverbank and possibly the islands.
To volunteer:
Call me or email me if you can participate and/or have any questions!
