President's Message

Greetings from the Darien Jungle in Panama!  

Coming to a country that has areas of extreme poverty and looking at the picture of our children of Vickery Mill Elementary School makes me remember how the simple things in life are what matters.   We have come prepared for this trip with simple big balloons with rubber bands attached to the ends and seeing the smiles that this simple balloon will bring the children in this remote village.  Then there's our water project which is located or a book like our club donated to the Read Across Roswell, reminds us that it's the simple things in life that matter.   Thank you Rotarian Stacy Perlman for arranging Read Across Roswell for our schools.  And although we were not able to read live to the children of our schools our club can still put a smile on the faces of many children.  

I am sure next year we will resume reading live to the kids.   Coming out of this pandemic where everyone was "masked up" without smiles showing, also makes me appreciate how important it to see a smile and to feel human touch.  Who can't remember the first time an infant looked up at you, saw your smile and responded with a big smile.  So enjoy the day and give someone a smile. 

I will not be at this weeks meeting but PE John will be ringing the bell.  And remember that Thursday the 17th is St Patrick's Day, so start shopping for your favorite green outfit for our meeting!

Speaker for March 10
Elan Buchen Roswell Arts Fund- Why ART?

What to know about our speaker- Elan Buchen

Elan comes from the public art, festival, and experiential worlds. For the last 15 years, he has been building art experiences for guests in both the public and private realms. He has seen, firsthand, the effect public art can have on economic development, quality of life, and culture. He believes Roswell is home to some of the most beautiful natural landscapes, trails, and history, and is eager to see public art connect these great assets in the coming years.

His Experience

In his prior roles, Elan has helped design and implement work with attractions, museums, galleries, tradeshows, film, and gaming. His projects of note include Hamilton the Exhibition and the creation of the public art and festival program for the Atlanta BeltLine. His clients include Stone Mountain Park, Sotheby’s, Disney, Google, Adult Swim, and more. Elan holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Savannah College of Art & Design in Sculpture. When not herding artists, Elan draws and sculpts out of his studio, surrounded by a menagerie of animals.

Three Takeaways

What is Roswell Arts Fund and what does it mean to be the designated Arts Agency?

What is our vision for the next 4 years?

How do we participate in the arts – as residents, critics, ambassadors, lovers, and haters?
