Roswell Rotary...Doing what we do...Raising money for great causes while having fun!!
Imagine that you can save lives even though your chances are 2 out of 3 that you can't give blood. The solution is simple: find a friend, family member -- or our favorite solution, your coworkers -- to donate a pint. Not only will they get cookies and snacks, but they'll also get the Roswell-popular "Pint for a Pint" coupon from Variant Brewing, including the premiere of "Blood Orange Cashmere" to celebrate all blood donors!
Then share this link with the one who will 'giveth and receiveth' so that they can reserve a donor table of their choice.
Questions should be directed to Darrell Bartlett at 770-883-7757 or Hal Schlenger at 770-335-0077.
JUST ANNOUNCED:
Meet under the Roswell Rotary tent in the Hagan Business Center Parking Lot. Parking only $5 and food and drinks free at Rotary tent. Thank you, Big Oak Tavern, for providing sliders! As depicted above with the Incredible Family, if you feel adventurous come in costume!
Good Morning Roswell Rotarians and Friends!
Roswell Rotary recently announced the launch of the Roswell Teen Talk Podcast Series because today’s Roswell students say being a teen has never been more challenging. Parents struggle with ways to help their teens navigate through today’s environment. Listen to their struggles and learn how to help with tips from professional mental health experts, teachers and parents. This series is Phase 1 (of 3) of a partnership between the WellStar Foundation and Roswell Rotary. Roswell Rotary (THAT MEANS YOU AND ME!!) will be the boots on the ground to get the message out to students and parents throughout our community and beyond. This content is FREE and our goal is to share it with EVERYONE! Here’s what you do:

We are coming up on a very special day! It is Career Day for
Roswell High School on Thursday, Nov 17th. You may have participated before, or
you may have always wanted to shape the minds of young brilliance. This is your
opportunity!
We will be looking to fill spaces immediately for our day (7:30 – 3:30), in 20-minute slots. Let’s make it fun for the 30-35 young minds (each session) that you will be engaging. You can demonstrate what you do to youth by bringing props and wearing what you would wear to work: uniform, equipment, suit/tie!
This is the time to show a new generation about this exciting career path! What should you talk about you are thinking? It should be whatever projects that you work on in your career. Be you-very engaging! You can even sprinkle questions throughout the crowd for them to ask you! This may be the time to break out your company's swag or marketing materials if you choose.
Don't wait until the last minute to sign up, so you will have enough time to complete the virtual volunteer training by November 14th. It should only take about 20 minutes to complete and can be found at https://www.fultonschools.org/Page/9539.
You don't want to miss this opportunity! There is going to be a rush to fill these spaces, so sign up today.
