President's Message

Special Olympics

In every corner of the world, Special Olympics is changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and Roswell Rotary was there this weekend to help.   Rotarians teamed up with the Roswell Police department to generate over $4,600 in donations by jumping into the frigid cold waters of Lake Acworth.  Thank you to all who donated to this cause and especially to those who froze their you know what off for those with disabilities.  

While some of us were taking a dip in the lake, others were busy adding a face lift to Bulloch Hall with a new coat of paint and some vegetation maintenance.   Thanks for all who came out for both of these service projects!  

You won't want to miss this week's meeting where we will honor some of our high school athletes via the Skipper Hoke awards.  NFL great Michael Haynes will be our key note speaker!

Former Falcon Michael Haynes Speaker at Rotary Feb. 24

Former Falcon Michael Haynes Speaks to Roswell Rotary

Some memories about Michael Haynes with the Falcons..."Haynes was a dangerous deep threat with speed who absolutely ate defensive backs alive, and he had one of the most productive single seasons in franchise history before the likes of Roddy White and Julio Jones came along."

He really came into his own in 1991, however. Haynes was an absolute monster that year for the Falcons, snagged just 50 balls and turning them into 1,122 yards and 11 touchdowns and averaging an absurd 22.4 yards per reception. He was a key player on a team that made the playoffs for the first time in a very long while, and he proved it wasn’t a fluke by following it up with 48 balls, 808 yards and 10 touchdowns in 1992.

Come Hear from Michael Haynes on Feb. 24!

Roswell Rotary Relays- Back in Person!
March 19 - Roswell Relay Volunteers Needed!!

Roswell Relays....Back in 2022 with 26 teams!!!

After having to cancel the 2020 Roswell Rotary Relays and with a reduced schedule in 2021, the 2022 Rotary Relays should be back to normal with a full schedule of 26 teams participating on Saturday March 19, 2022, at Roswell High School.  The Relays start at 9:00 and should finish by 5:00. 

Roswell Rotary is the sponsor

As the sponsor of the Relays our Rotary Club provides volunteers to help run the track & field events as well as provide hospitality for the team coaches and Rotary volunteers.  Our greatest need for volunteers is in the morning to cover both sessions of the field events.  We will also need some volunteers during the running events in the afternoon.  After having restrictions on what was allowed last year our hospitality coordinator Mindy Jones is planning for our normal breakfast and lunch set up in the school cafeteria so we will need adequate hospitality volunteers from approximately 8:00 to 3:00.

What We Need

• Greatest Need: Morning volunteers to cover both sessions of field events
• Afternoon volunteers for running events
• Hospitality volunteers for shifts running from 8am 3pm

 How to sign up

I would like to encourage everyone to please consider giving some of your time to help with this great event.  If you have any questions or are available to volunteer, please contact Bruce Smith at bsmith@mckaycotton.com or text me at 404-312-0577 or contact Mindy Jones at goldyall@aol.com or text Mindy at 770-231-1016.

Ways to Make things Engaging: Storytelling is always great. Or, have the students complete a case study or brainstorm. Speakers can also bring in artifacts or use games like Kahoot or Jeopardy to engage the students.

Special Need: In the past, it has been difficult to find Cosmetology professionals. Please feel free to find Business Owners to speak to those students. Students who enter this profession will be tasked with operating a business.
