RRC Scholarship Awards Program
President John's Message
Every year Roswell Rotary gives four scholarships of $1,500 each to graduating high school seniors. These include: - Tom Zachary Scholarship - two scholarships given to Roswell High School students, these awards are named for a long time Roswell Rotarian and principal of Roswell High School
- Power of One Scholarship - open to seniors in North Fulton High Schools. This scholarship is named in honor of Past President Dave McCleary, who with the Power of One has championed End Human Trafficking Now for over 10 years
- Stan Moses Scholarship - given to a Roswell High School student, this award honors a long time Roswell Rotarian and educator.
This week we invite all our recipients to join us so that we may present them with their scholarships. One student, Olivia Rodman, can’t be here this week, but was with us last week and delighted us with a powerful rendition of our National Anthem. Many thanks to our Scholarship committee, chaired this year by Angela Medley, for their review and scoring of all the scholarship applications.
Program This Week
Georgia Laws Of Life Essay Contest
What is a Law of Life? A Law of Life is a short, pithy saying or quotation that points to a core personal value or ideal. Oftentimes, a Law of Life serves as a memorable and meaningful moral compass on a person’s journey through life. The Georgia Laws of Life Essay Contest asks students to select their own Law of Life, and to write about how it applies to their lives. In doing so, students reflect deeply and write from the heart about what they think matters most. The contest celebrates the students’ stories and their often profound reflections, and proudly presents significant cash awards to students and teachers. It's always a special treat to hear the Laws of Life from the contest winners. If you are worried about the future generations, this is a program that will give you hope! Past President Moment
Jim Coyle: 2015 - 2016
In President Jim Coyle’s Rotary year DG Bob Hagan declared “Mystery Solved”. What Mystery? In the last scrapbook of its kind, we put nine super sleuths on the trail looking for clues to solve the “Mystery”. One mystery was where will we meet? The Community Activity Building was undergoing renovations and we had to find a temporary home. In the end Roswell Rotary again came up with solutions. Come early and check out Jim’s scrapbook on the big screen as we solve the mysteries of Rotary year 2015-2016. tonight: RRAH to Learn About Organ Donation

International Peace Conference
Looking forward to the 2023 International Peace Conference on May 4-6 right here in the heart of the South! This conference will feature over 80 speakers from across the globe who will speak on topics such as human trafficking, reducing violence in our communities, education, social justice, empowerment of women and much more. The Human Trafficking program is particularly strong, bringing many of the best presenters encountered working on this issue. In addition to the Human Trafficking panels and presentations, there will also be speakers on Empowering Women and Girls, some of whom are also either treating trafficking victims or educating girls on how to avoid the dangers of traffickers; on domestic violence; and, on preventing child marriage. This is a “don’t miss” event! Take advantage of the great lineup of speakers and convene with others who are dedicated to ending human trafficking as well as many more who are building peace in other ways, including the largest group of Rotary Peace Fellows you are ever likely to encounter in one place at one time.
Join us as we come together to learn how we can #buildpeace. To learn more about @ipeace2023, visit: International Peace Conference or contact Dave McCleary at dave.m@ragas.online Volunteer at the Unity Garden with After Hours
