Why Volunteer at Bulloch Gift Shop?

It's FUN to volunteer at the Bulloch Hall Gift Shop! This picture shows just a few of our RRC members who staffed the register and bagged the gifts last year during Roswell ChristKindlMarket. 

From Past President Lou Tabickman:  

"Working at the Gift Shop was not only fun but was a great opportunity to meet new people from all cultures and backgrounds within and outside the Roswell area. One day an elderly gentleman came in with his grandchildren. He was visiting from Florida and upon signing the guest book, he mentioned that this was his first visit to Bulloch Hall, and it was very special. His name was Willis Ball, III. His grandfather was the architect who designed Bulloch Hall, Barrington Hall, Mimosa Hall, and the Roswell Presbyterian Church. You never know who you might meet!!"

From Kathy Igou:

"Shopping! I ended up buying so many stocking stuffers when I was working in the gift shop. Delighted my family and it made money for Bulloch Hall"!

Date Changed- Jan. 24
Holiday Dinner at American Legion Post 201-Volunteers needed


On Friday January 24, 2025 (Note Date Change) , Roswell Rotary is hosting the Christmas Dinner for the Veterans of the American Legion Post 201 and the Alpharetta VFW at the American Legion Post 201 located at:

201 Wills Road
Alpharetta, Ga. 30009

The dinner is to be held at 6 pm. This is an annual sit-down dinner event for our Veterans. Roswell Rotary will be providing the dinner, and the Rotary Club of North Fulton will be providing the desserts. Rick Silver, who is a Mentalist, will be providing a dynamic entertainment show for the Veterans that will be no less than spectacular and fun!

We are looking for 5 people for set up and break down and at least 10plus servers. As we will be serving the Veterans in their seats. We will need to set up an assembly line of food plate preparers and then hand them off to the servers who will physically serve the Veterans. They will also clear the plates when completed.

Mimosa Elementary School
Interact at Work


The Mimosa Elementary Interact Club has completed its first service project!  They collected 76 pairs of sneakers in 3 boxes around the school campus. Rotarian Sam Lane came to talk a bit about why this charity is so impactful and…. They have collected the most shoes so far!  The 4th and 5th graders were so excited. 

Thank you to Dana Brockriede, Teacher Liaison, and Rotarians Gabriel Prado, Sam Lane, and Leslie Bassett for your mentorship and inspiration.


RRAH - Next Meeting is December 3rd

After Hours has partnered with Giving Grace to adopt a local Atlanta family of 5 this Christmas. The sign up sheet for items is posted on GroupMe and Facebook. 
Please make sure to bring all items to the meeting on December 3rd as they are going to be brought directly to Giving Grace following the meeting. Please do not wrap any gifts, and instead write the name of the child you are buying for on a note and tape it to your gift. 
Our meeting will be at 6:30 PM at the Artillery Room at Gate City. Hope to see you all there!
