72nd Annual Youth Day Parade
President's Message
October is here! We started off October with a bang -
literally. Farm Day was a huge success at Gary Garrett's farm.
Started off with shooting clays followed by four wheelers, baby quail and great
food. Many thanks to Gary, Michael Agurkis, James Stone, George Rhodes,
and all who brought food to share. What a great time with lots of kids
and grandkids on a picture perfect Fall afternoon!
We continue celebrating our Youth this week with the 72nd Annual
Youth Day Parade this coming Saturday morning. What a unique and great
tradition Roswell has celebrating the Youth in our community. At our
meeting we will have the Youth Representatives from our Roswell area high
schools along with the City officials they each represent.
The Youth Day theme this year is "Love Your Parks". Come hear how Roswell Rotary hopes to put this theme into action as we seek to serve our Roswell community. And remember to bring your candy for the Roswell Rotary/Interact float. See you Thursday!

Oct. 6 Program: Roswell Celebrates Youth Day
Our program this week is the Roswell Youth Day Parade presented by the Roswell Youth Advisory Council. President Katie Wishert will say a few words and read the Youth Day Celebration Proclamation. Jeff Leatherman, Director of Recreation and Parks, says that Roswell is the only city in our country that has a parade specifically celebrating youth. That's amazing!
Join us Thursday as we celebrate our young people and hear details about the upcoming Youth Day Parade! [read more]
After Hours' Next Meeting is TONIGHT!
Two of After Hours' passion points are veterans and mental health. So, we are excited to combine the two topics as we welcome back our favorite vet, Alfonso Rogers! Formerly, with the VEO, Alfonso currently serves as the Regional Development Director for The Headstrong Project. Headstrong is a national mental health treatment practice for veterans and their families. We look forward to hearing Alfonso speak on the importance of mental health in the military community and how we can support. See you tonight--same time, same place!
Save the date: RRAH is having a special virtual meeting on Tuesday, November 15th. Join us as we dive deeper into suicide prevention with a virtual course: Talk Saves Lives: An Introduction to Suicide Prevention. Sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the community-based presentation will cover the general scope of suicide, the research on prevention and what people can do to fight suicide. All Rotarians are invited and more information will be shared closer to time.

Positive Reinforcement for High School students

Youth Day Parade: Oct. 8
From the pictures above from last year's parade, you can see both the work and the fun as Interact Club works to build the float and then ride and walk in the parade.
What We Need: The float needs bags and bags of candy to throw out to the parade goers! Individually wrapped candy is perfect. NO CHOCOLATE- It melts! Come enjoy the fun of watching the parade and cheering for the floats! 2022 Youth Day our coordinators are Zach Fields, Jack Wyche and Ken Briggs.
Remember it's this Saturday, October 8th starting at 10:00am - The parade starts on Mimosa Boulevard, continues onto Canton Street and ends at Roswell Area Park - WE STILL NEED CANDY!!
