President's Message
Thanks For Your Support!
This club is awesome! We started Saturday with a river clean up crew that won the award for most trash collected at 330 lbs and the most unusual find, an industrial gas tank. Another team spent the day at VEO repairing and painting rusty stair cases. That team had to bath in mineral spirits before coming toGate City to support End Human Trafficking Now. Pat and Dave put on an amazing event supporting the organizations on the front lines of ending modern day slavery. I am in awe of all that we do and can't thank you enough!

Don't let Halloween sneak up on you!
BOO!
Our club meeting falls on Halloween this year and we have some spooky fun planned. Our Interact Clubs will be with us to kick off the year, so come dressed up to compete in a club costume contest, help us provide treats to the students and hear ghost stories from Roswell Ghost Tours. The kids will love this and we might have a little fun too!
Get excited, It's Almost Foundation Month!
Get Up To $300 In Matching Funds
As we approach the end of the year we all get inundated with requests for giving and we ask that you consider the Rotary International Foundation when planning your year end donations. The club will match your gift dollar for dollar up to $300. That means your next Paul Harris Fellow only cost $700 instead of $1000. Please see Michael Agurkis if you are interested in taking advantage of the matching funds.
Sponsor The Next Patriot Flight
Honoring Our First Responders
Jeff McCoy is organizing another Patriot Flight, a project he did during his year as President of Roswell Rotary. Flight is tentatively scheduled for later this fall and will involve taking 30-40 of Roswell's first responders to New York City for a day meant to honor their service to our community. If you are interested in helping plan or sponsoring the next trip please reach out to Jeff at 678-852-4297.
