President's Message
We had a full house of Interact students this last week giving us a glimpse into the future of our community! The first Interact club was authorized at Melbourne High School, Florida, in 1962. The name “Interact” came from combining the words “international” and “action”. Our club has demonstrated that we are a club of action by expanding our Interact involvement to students of all grade levels. Today Roswell has ten Interact clubs in our schools with 200 active students learning how to give back to the community. The future is bright! As we approach the holiday season there will be plenty of opportunities to give back to the community and have some fun doing so with your fellow Rotarians. Mark your calendars for the Holiday Party on December 3rd. Chris Archer is planning a great evening with some added twists to our night. Don't miss this week's speaker Todd Callen. He will discuss a creative and fun way to look at the business environment in this crazy world we live in! Speaker November 18, 2021

Business Networking Event for Rotarians
Paul Harris formed the Rotary in 1905 so that professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and conduct business together. Paul Harris was networking well before 1985 when telecommunications expert and consultant Bill Lewis is believed to be the first person to use the term “networking” to describe connecting people in order to build a business network.
While Rotary is about "Service Above Self," there is a growing place for networking in Rotary, particularly for those earlier in their careers, and those responsible for generating revenue. It is an opportunity for you or someone on your staff, or someone you are interested in recruiting to Roswell Rotary. Last month's gathering again drew a crowd - with Rotarians from the Atlanta Metro, Dunwoody, Peachtree City, Roswell, Sandy Springs and Tucker clubs. While it had similarities to other networking events, you knew that attendees honored the integrity of the 4 Way Test. The next event returns to the Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant, 1224 Hammond Dr, Dunwoody, GA 30346, between the Perimeter Mall and the MARTA station.
So plan to join us on Nov 16 from 6:30 - 8:00pm. For more information, please contact Hal Schlenger, or Johnathan Clark of the Tucker Club (johnathanmclark@gmail.com | 404.512.6058)
