President's Message
Thank you, Roswell Rotary Club!
This week we auctioned off a concert by The Mike Veal Band, and the opportunity to play golf with some big-name professional baseball and football players in this year’s golf and tennis tournament. Our guest Kurt Wilson was the high bidder of the Mike Veal band. Robert Fezza gets first dibs on which team he gets paired up with to play a round of golf followed by Kurt Hilbert and yours truly.
The big winners however are the 30 some charities in which Roswell Rotary supports each year. Because of the generosity of our great club and guests, we will help some folks get their life back on track at Homestretch, feed some hungry kids in Honduras, and provide education and medical support to our local community through WellStar. The generosity of every member in our club with gifts, time and money is overwhelming.
We look forward to seeing everyone this week, have some good ole fried chicken prepared once again by Juan and his crew and listen to the great things WellStar is doing to help combat the growing problem with mental health.
