Professional Classification Clean-Up Project - UPDATE


A BIG THANK YOU to all who responded to our first request!!!

This project's purpose is to make it easier for your fellow Rotarians to find you, by updating and correcting some information on our Rotary platform, specifically in the Professional Classification and Sub-Classification fields.

Imagine - a Rotarian want to do business with you.  Perhaps they are interested in referring someone to mentor with you.  Being able to identify the right person effectively and efficiently is Beneficial to All! 

So if your Classifications aren't the perfect fit for someone to easily find you, you may be receiving an email or call in the near future to get it as right as possible. Don't worry if you can't enter this information yourself! Contact Aliza Gevirtz at mrsalizagevirtz@gmail.com or Michael Curling Michael.Curling@gmail.com for information and assistance.

Meals on Wheels Needs Your Help!


Meals on Wheels America is the leadership organization supporting the more than 5,000 community-based programs across the country that are dedicated to addressing senior hunger and isolation. Powered by a trusted volunteer workforce, this network delivers a comprehensive solution that begins with a meal and is proven to enable independence and well-being through the additional benefits of tailored nutrition, social connection, safety and much more. 

Roswell Rotary supports Meals on Wheels out of North Fulton Senior Services by signing up to deliver meals 1 or 2 days a week. A typical route commitment lasts only 1.5 hours. The routes take place right before lunchtime, with most meals being picked up at the center between 10:00 and 11:00 am each day. If interested in delivering meals to your senior neighbors, please contact Mary Trapp marytrapp@kw.com or 770-645-1320.
