Special meeting Guests Thursday
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp & First Lady Marty Kemp visit Roswell Rotary
Our club will be honored with special guests on Thursday! Let's fill the gym and every table to give a warm RRC welcome to our Governor and First Lady. There will definitely be a focus on the incredible work to End Human Trafficking NOW in our community led by our own Dave McCleary and the Roswell Police Department. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to be up close & personal with our Governor and First Lady! You are encouraged to invite friends, family and colleagues. We are expecting every table to be full so come early and if you can, please volunteer to help with guests at the Visitor's Table! After Hours Next Meeting: March 19
Roswell Rotary After Hours meets again on Tuesday, March 19th at The Artillery Room @ Gate City! Sophia Dizon and Jessica Cummins from Hemophilia of Georgia will be the guest speakers. Did you know that March is Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month? Hemophilia of Georgia exists so that people affected by bleeding disorders live as normally and productively as possible. Join us as we learn about their mission and how RRAH can support. After Hours Hosts Two Services Projects
Roswell Rotary After Hours stayed busy last week! At their meeting, they sanitized and repackaged hundreds of pairs of earbuds that were left over from Rotary International Assembly. The earbuds will end up in the hands of students who are issued a learning device by their public school but can’t afford their own earbuds. Thank you, Gordon Owens for coordinating this meaningful project for the club! The club also volunteered at the Unity Garden at the Chattahoochee Nature Center for the first time this year! It was a wet morning but there was plenty of work to be done with the end goal of donating fresh produce to North Fulton Community Charities. Our next Unity Garden volunteer opportunity is Saturday, May 11--everyone is invited! The 25th Roswell Rotary Relays is coming up!

Rotarians Want to Buy from Rotarians - or be mentored by Rotarians
Imagine someone finding you to either buy from you or be counseled by you because you're a Rotarian. The district website now does that. It's live! Today, please visit our Roswell Rotary Club website, https://roswellrotary.club/, to confirm that your profile is correct. Your Skills/Talents/Classification should be in your profile. Hal has put together instructions for you, just CLICK HERE. And note that RETIRED is not a classification. Retirees spent years honing talents and knowledge before they retired. The club needs those skills. Thanks for helping to update these records. We have so much skill and talent that can be tapped into! Questions?
