FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynne Lindsey and all news should be directed to her at lynnehlindsay@outlook.com

Remembering Those Who Served

This week, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom as our Memorial Day committee leads our club meeting with a preview of our Roswell Remembers Memorial Day Ceremony next Monday.  Led by Past President Dave Young, we honor our fallen soldiers, sailors, and airmen who fought and died for our freedom.  This day is a great reminder that freedom is not free.  Many have paid the ultimate price so that we can maintain our many freedoms.   


This meeting is unique each year as we have the presentation of the Colors, listen to inspiring music, focus on the price of freedom, and give thanks for the sacrifice others made for our benefit.  We will forego the usual announcements, introduction of guests, happy dollars, and our weekly raffle.  We hope to see you all this Thursday for this special day.

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.
