President's Message
Team Work

Roswell Rotarians unite!

Old rule of thumb, when you are on a roll, keep on rolling! Our club is  not only surviving, we are THRIVING. That is a wonderful testament to our strength as a club.

Last Thursday we packed 100 goodie boxes for sailors deployed on supercarriers defending our freedom. A special thank you to Elkins Pointe Middle School, Blessed Trinity Catholic High School, Mountain Park Elementary and Roswell High School Interact clubs for their generous collections and thoughtful letters.

Speaking of team work, the results of the golf and tennis tournament will be announced this week. You will not want to miss it!

This Week's Speaker
District Governor Kirk Driskell

Kirk Driskell joined the Alpharetta Rotary Club, following in the footsteps of his father, Ken Driskell, who was a charter member and past president of the club. Kirk served as his Club’s President in 2015-2016. Prior to serving as Club President, he served in multiple club leadership roles and was honored to receive both, “Rookie of the Year” and “Rotarian of the Year” awards. He has served on multiple International service trips and local community service projects.

Kirk served as District 6900 Service Chair in 2016/17, Assistant Governor 2017/18, District 6900 Public Image Chair in 2018/19 while preparing to serve as District Governor 2020/21. He became a Major Donor in 2016/17 and continues to support the foundation. During Kirk’s year as President, the club won numerous awards, including Club of the Year and Best Membership Growth. Kirk was also awarded the Sheffield Award, which recognizes the top President in each of the four club categories for that year. Rotary International recognized Kirk by presenting him with the Rotary Choice Award for a personal video he uses to describe what being a Rotarian means to him. Link to Video

A native to the Alpharetta/Milton area, Kirk continues to live there with his wife, Deena, and their three children, Cambri (17), Knox (14) and Kolton (12). Kirk graduated from Reinhardt University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Business. Continuing the family tradition, his daughter Cambri launched an Interact Club at King’s Ridge Christian School with close to 50 of her peers.

Kirk is a serial entrepreneur and outdoor enthusiast that builds, buys, or creates companies that provide opportunities for individuals to align their passions with their purpose. Beyond his family and his faith, his true passion in life is helping men struggling with addiction. Kirk founded Vision Warriors ministry, a faith community that focuses on accountability, and transparency. Vision Warriors provides support for men who are ready to fight their drug and alcohol addictions.
