truly thankful for my Roswell Rotary family and everything you do
for our community and world. Thank You!
RRAH Meeting Recap + Friendsgiving
Last week was a busy one for After Hours! The club hosted a special virtual meeting that included a virtual course, Talk Saves Lives: An Introduction to Suicide Prevention, led by Lynn Prothero. Lynn serves on the board for the Georgia Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, is a Crisis Text Line volunteer and is a Talk Saves Lives educator. She spoke on research, prevention and support as it relates to suicide. One of RRAH's focus areas is mental health, so it was an impactful meeting they won't soon forget.
On Thursday, RRAH had a special social event--Friendsgiving! Each member brought a dish to share and everyone enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast. It was a wonderful night of delicious food, fellowship and laughs.
The next After Hours meeting will be held Tuesday, December 6 at 6:30 at the Artillery Room. The guest speaker will be Rotarian Pat Rains who will speak on entrepreneurship and lead a private tour of Gate City! More details to come.
Be There! Register Now.

NFCC Christmas Toy Drive
As we reflect on the good fortune and bounty that we have and that is Roswell Rotary, we remain aware that others are less fortunate, and we have the opportunity to help.
Many of us are familiar with the Star Thrower (Starfish) Story, reminding us that even seemingly small actions can make a world of difference.
We'll be collecting toys at our Dec. 1 and 8 meetings. NFCC has a shopping list on their website. Every year they struggle with gifts for teenagers. This is their biggest need (gift cards, pullovers, teen stuff). Here is their shopping list- https://www.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/36W2TCHAFRYA5?ref_=smi_se_cl_u_rd_www
