President John’s Message
We are in the season of Thanksgiving (contrary to what the
retailers tell us) and I am thankful to all those who make the Rotary Club of
Roswell the Best Club! I am thankful for all of you who are called to
serve others here in our community and around the world with your ideas, time,
talents, and resources.
I am thankful for those who see a need and don’t wait for others
to lead the way - to stop bullying, to end human trafficking, to bring clean
drinking water to those who have never had it, to feed students so that they
can get an education, to take water to those suffering disaster, to help young
girls stay in school each month.
I am thankful for those who do the things behind the scenes - to
setup for our meetings, to organize our fundraisers, to support our students
and their activities, to prepare our food, to implement our service projects,
to plan our events, to honor our first responders and veterans.
Veterans Day last week reminds us to be thankful for those who
served and those who continue to serve to protect our freedoms and our great
way of life. This week we will continue to honor those who served as we
hear from retired Command Sergeant Major Savita Dyer.
Thank you, Roswell Rotary !!
Speaker for Thursday, Nov. 17: USA Sergeant Major (Ret) Dyer
Be sure to attend Rotary this week to welcome Sergeant Major (Ret) Sarita Yvette Dyer. We are so honored to have her speak to our club.
Early in her 27-year military career, USA Sergeant Major (Ret) Dyer was deployed to Operation Desert Storm, the first of four combat tours. Her record of service also encompassed several high level positions, including Legislative Liaison for the Secretary of the Army; 3rd Infantry Division Nuclear Senior Enlisted Advisor; Force Protection Sergeant Major for U.S. Division North-Iraq; Senior Enlisted Advisor for the Logistical European Theater; and overseeing Senior Drill Sergeant Training for 3,000+ Initial Entry Trainees. Her numerous awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Star Medals for combat service and campaign medals for Desert Storm, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
In addition to many military schools, her civilian education includes a Bachelor’s Degree and two Master’s Degrees. SGM Dyer is an exemplary role model, especially to the youth of our great nation. Please help us to welcome this distinguished veteran to our club on Thursday!
Past President Moment - Dave Young - 2003-04
Every week we recite the 4-Way Test of the things we think, say,
or do. But have you heard about the 3-Way Test? Back in 2004,
Roswell Rotary was called on to serve at District Conference and this new test
was born. Come hear about Roswell Rotary continuing the “Club of the
Year” tradition in our district when we hear from Dave Young about Rotary year
2003-04.
Tonight is Talk Saves Lives!
Tonight is the night! Join us at 6:30 as we dive deeper into suicide prevention with a virtual course: Talk Saves Lives: An Introduction to Suicide Prevention. Sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the community-based presentation will cover the general scope of suicide, the research on prevention and what people can do to fight suicide. All Rotarians are invited.
RRAH Grocery Bag Drive
Do you have piles of grocery store bags clumped up in your pantry? Do you hate throwing your bags away after a big trip to Publix or Kroger? Good news! Now is the time to do something helpful (and green!) with your used grocery bags! After Hours is hosting a Grocery Bag Drive to benefit the Chattahoochee Nature Center Unity Garden. The Unity Garden is in need of these bags as they play a role in transportation and fostering plant growth.
Please give your bags to any RRAH member. You can also bring them to the next in-person RRAH meeting on Tuesday, December 6.
RHS Career Day
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.
