President's Message
The Secret Sauce
Have you ever thought about how our meeting’s come together? The tables, chairs and banners do not magically appear. Every Thursday this group arrives early for set up and leaves late to dismantle. If you want to give them a hand, I am certain they would not turn it down. One of the great things about being President is observing all the behind-the-scenes magic. That my friends is why Roswell Rotary Rocks!
