Message from the President


Roswell Rotary Partners with Alpharetta Rotary to Bring KBeam Reading System to North Fulton Kids 
In an exciting new initiative, Roswell Rotary is partnering with Alpharetta Rotary to distribute 100 KBeam reading system wands to children in North Fulton this January. The KBeam system uses cutting-edge technology to assist young learners in developing essential reading skills by making the process interactive and engaging. The distribution of these wands will provide an important boost to children who need additional support as they work toward literacy. With these tools, students can access a fun, personalized way to improve reading comprehension and build confidence in their abilities. We are thrilled to be part of this impactful program and look forward to seeing the positive outcomes as these children grow in their love of reading and learning. This partnership reflects our commitment to fostering educational opportunities within our community, and we are proud to play a role in making reading accessible to all. Stay tuned for more updates on this wonderful project and ways to get involved!

Celebrate the Holidays with Roswell Rotary: A Festive Meeting to Remember
Join us at our upcoming holiday meeting for a joyful celebration filled with music, treats, and special memories! No holiday gathering would be complete without something warm and delicious. Brewable Café will provide its signature hot cocoa and cider to keep everyone cozy as we enjoy the music and fellowship. To make the day even more special, we have a surprise guest! Ms. Sarah, one of our original cooks from the days of Aubrey Greenway, will join us. Her contributions to our Club’s fried chicken lunches over the years have been unforgettable, and we’re excited to welcome her back for this festive occasion. We look forward to celebrating the holiday season with all of you—don’t miss this magical Rotary meeting! 
Remember: Wear your holiday sweaters!
