President's Message
Re-energized
After working hard over the last several weeks to get all of the citations and awards submitted to District 6900 and Rotary International, I needed an infusion of energy. Starting the week off with Read Across Roswell and ending the week with Teddy Keyserling stealing the show at our club meeting I am re-energized by their youth. I hope that you get a chance to volunteer (Roswell Relays) or engage with kids we serve (Interact Day) in the coming weeks and some of their energy rubs off on you too.
