Give a Pint, Get a Pint on Wed, Aug 3
Another Rotary Blood Drive, Already? Really?

More than half of our club can't donate blood.  In fact, only about 10% of the club members donate, so why so much attention to blood donations when we could be focused on the Golf & Tennis Tournaments that help so many charities in our area?

1. Humankind does not have a way to manufacturer.  Humans are so divinely designed that we manufacture 1 pint every 56 days; in other words, those who donate can donate every 8 weeks. 
2. Every club member can help.  If you can't give, you can encourage a friend or family member to give in your honor.  Everyone wins.

Of course, there is a continuous need for blood.  You can ask several Roswell Rotary member personally or their family.  Or you can ask Jon Paul or Lori about Wellstar's needs.  

For you or a friend to 'reserve a table' on Wed, Aug 3, click here to see availability and reserve your table.   For more info and questions, please contact Darrell Bartlett at Darrell.Bartlett@allegion.com or Hal Schlenger at HSchlenger@GreatSouthBenefits.com

RRAH Meeting Recap
After Hours Learns about GRSP and Rotary Foundation

After Hours had a great meeting last week! John Carruth and Leslie Bassett spoke about the Rotary Foundation. It was great to learn what the foundation does and how After Hours can get involved. Then, Georgia Rotary Student Program participant Panashe Sivindani spoke about her experience in GRSP. It was very interesting and insightful to learn about the program, and Zimbabwe! 

Lucky's For a Cause!
