President's Message
Alive in Roswell! Last week was this seasons first Alive in Roswell, and Roswell Rotarian's showed up in numbers! Mickey Deaton and crew served up food and beverages to many of our seasoned veterans as well as a big group from our new Roswell Rotary After Hours club (RRAH). The blending of the new young professionals with our more "experienced" Rotarians was fun to watch. RRAH President Leigh engaged in a conversation with one of our Rotarian supporters of the the Unity Garden at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, and set plans to join forces in managing the vegetable garden with all of the proceeds going to our local charities. It's great to be a Rotarian! This week we head down to Destin Florida for our annual District Conference for comradery with other Rotarians around the district celebrating the past Rotary year and to welcome in our new leadership. If you haven't signed up, its not to late to join our "Spring Break for Adults"! For those who cant make it down to Destin, not to worry, you are in good hands for our Thursday lunch meeting as Past President Jacque Digieso will be ringing the bell. After Hours Club Update
Vision Boarding for New Satellite Club
Recap April 19 Meeting Our After Hours club had a wonderful meeting Tuesday! We started by going through old magazines to find words, phrases and pictures to cut out and put on our “vision board.” The vision board showcases our hopes, ideas and dreams for the club. We then went around the room and each person talked about what charities and missions are near and dear to their heart. It was a great way to get to know fellow members, and everyone left feeling inspired and excited! Check out our final vision board above! Next meetings are May 3 and May 17 at 6:30pm at the Artillery Room @Gate City!

Tue, May 17: Business Networking Rotary-Style continues
Smarter Biz Dev because it's with Fellow Rotarians (District Event)
This is an opportunity for you or someone on your staff who needs to network and generate revenue, or someone you are interested in recruiting to Roswell Rotary that needs to network with Rotarians:
This is networking with people who have the integrity of the 4 Way Test! This is why Paul Harris formed Rotary for 1905. Professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and conduct business together. Our last gathering again drew a crowd from the Atlanta Metro, Dunwoody, Peachtree City, Roswell, Sandy Springs and Tucker clubs. While Rotary is about "Service Above Self," there is a growing place for networking in Rotary, particularly for those responsible for generating revenue. Location: 5 Minutes inside 285 and Ashford-Dunwoody Rd
