Message from the President
Dear Roswell Rotarians, On behalf of Golf Tournament Chair Joe Mazzeo, Tennis Co-chairs Mindy Jones and Rich Austin, and Roswell Rotary Club Leadership Team, I would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who made the Aubrey Greenway Golf Tournament and Hagan Cup Tennis Tournament such a tremendous success! Your hard work, dedication, and participation helped create a day filled with fun, friendship, and fundraising, and we couldn't be more grateful. With the beautiful weather as our backdrop, Rotarians, sponsors, and friends came together to support our Club's mission and enjoy a day of camaraderie on the golf course and tennis courts. From the early morning set-up crews to our fantastic volunteers who kept the energy high throughout the day, and to everyone who participated by playing, sponsoring, or cheering on our golfers and tennis players, this event was truly a team effort. The funds raised from these tournaments will go directly toward supporting our service projects and community initiatives, furthering our commitment to making a positive impact both locally and globally. Thank you again for your enthusiasm and support. It is because of dedicated members like you that Roswell Rotary continues to shine as a beacon of service above self. Here’s to more memorable events and continued success in all our endeavors! With gratitude, Nancy Alterman, Roswell Rotary President 2024-25 Service above Self 770-262-6300 No Meeting This Thursday, September 12
