President John's MessageLot’s happening at Rotary this month. This week we highlight our upcoming Golf and Tennis Tournaments with fun and games. We will hear from Frank Brown, one of the founders of our golf tournament 44 years ago. Last week Rennie Curran helped us all understand what Service Above Self means in our lives. His powerful message resonated with all in the house including football players from Roswell High and Fellowship Christian.
Chris Brand, from Tucker Rotary, updated us on 6 months of direct relief for Ukrainians that has been sent from our District 6900. Here is a link, if you would like to contribute to the District’s relief efforts: https://rotary6900.org/contribution/contribute?project=3936

Our club had 80 members and met in the Community Activity Building in the room where we now serve our plates. Frank actually served almost two terms when President Charles Harmon had to move during his tenure. Come hear more about what was happening at Rotary at the start of the 80’s.
