President Alex's Message
Fellow Rotarians:
It is hard to believe that it is November! November means that it is Veteran’s Month for Roswell Rotary. We have a lot to do and all hands on deck are needed. Please consider helping out with our Adopt A Platoon, Honor Bus Trip on November 10th (we need veterans!!!), and our Annual Basketball Competition (to raise money for our Veteran Initiatives).
This Thursday afternoon is our friend Maurice Hilliard’s Funeral. Please try to attend so that we can honor Maurice and show his family how appreciative we are to have known Maurice and for his 60+ years of service to our Club and Community.
Onward and upward!

Rotary Veterans Invitational Tournament
What Roswell Rotary volunteer opportunity provides the chance to honor our veterans, be involved with student athletes, make your star crock pot specialty, serve food to coaches, referees, and staff working the event, and spend one-on-one time with your fellow Rotarians? It is the ROTARY VETERANS’ APPRECIATION BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT!
The tournament supports ALL our veteran programs, the Ft. Moore bus trip, Adopt-A-Platoon, and Memorial Day and is held at Roswell High School November 18th, 20th, & 21st. We will need volunteers to help man the ticket sales table at the gym and others to assist in the hospitality suite for lunches and dinners we will be providing on those days. A perfect opportunity for new members to assimilate to the Club and for the Satellite Club to help the Parent Club with an important project. The energy of the students and the happiness of our volunteers makes this an incredibly special volunteer moment. We hope you will say YES to being a part of this event that raises money to honor our veterans!

Calling Rotarians to Volunteer!!
The holidays are fast approaching and Roswell Rotary is getting ready. As a partner in the Christkindlmarket coming to Roswell Nov. 24-Dec 24, Roswell Rotarians are needed to work the check out desk in the Bulloch Hall Gift Shoppe right next door to Bulloch Hall. Feel free to pass along to your spouse/partner/friend that you think might be interested. We ask that you sign up for a minimum of 2 shifts between Nov. 24th and Dec. 24th. There will be a training session in November to learn how to use the Square system and check out a customer at the shop. It’s easy! It’s fun! It’s a great way to get involved. Partner up with a friend as 2 people are needed per shift. Click the link to sign up for your shifts. Remember this is a major project/fundraiser this year and we need you!

Tree Decorating Fun We also need volunteers at Bulloch Hall on November 5 starting at 10 a.m. to help with decorating the exterior of Bulloch Hall, the property, and Bulloch Hall Gift Shoppe to get ready for the Christkindlmarket. The City of Roswell is putting up an 18ft tree by the house that needs decorating too!! We’ll have decorations. Bring yourself… and a ladder if you have one. This will be a really fun day to get in the spirit. Let Nancy Alterman know if you plan on helping. Nancyhalterman8@gmail.com North Fulton Charity- Toyland Drive
Bring a smile to a child’s face this holiday season by donating toys and gift cards. Toyland Shop provides toys and gifts to local children in need at the holidays. At NFCC’s Toyland Shop unwrapped, donated toys are arranged so parents can pick out their child’s holiday gifts. Last year, the program served more than 1300 children in our community. The Toyland Shop Toy Drive is collecting new, unwrapped toys for children from ages 0-18. Please do not forget to keep our teenage clients in your hearts this year. We often see less toys donated for this age group. The most popular items for teens continues to be gift cards. We are requesting gift cards in increments of $35 from major retailers such as Target, Walmart and Amazon.
Please bring an unwrapped toy or gift card to Rotary on December 7th. District Conference Jekyll Island
