President's Message
Congratulations!
Each and every one of you should be proud of the hard work we put into serving our community and that Roswell Rotary continues to lead the way in our District. We won Club of The Year for 2019-20 and Club of the Decade for 2010-20 at the District Celebration this weekend. We were also recognized for Best International Service Project, Vocational Service Project (runner up), Overall Service Project, Senior Service Project (runner up), Club Administration, Public Image (runner up), Fundraiser (runner up) and membership (runner up). It was a great way to end a crazy year.
In the Rotary world it is certainly hard to get one over on Bob Hagan. On Saturday at the District Celebration, District Governor Jim Squire totally surprised Bob with the Rotary International Service Above Self award. It is certainly a well-deserved recognition. Congratulations Bob!
Congratulations to Matt Millard and Mike Nielsen for being awarded Roswell Rotarians of the Year. For years they both have been quietly working behind the scenes on various projects for our club and this year they have put countless hours into our Rotary Learning Lab for HomeStretch. Matt got all the plans through the city not once, but twice as we had to move the location at the last minute and Mike has leveraged his industry connections to turn our $10,000 grant from the District into a $100,000+ project. Be sure to congratulate both when you see them next and thank them for their hard work in making this project happen. (photo credit goes to John Carruth)
In celebration of July 4th, we will have flags available for our members to share with veterans, neighbors, and friends. Flags will be distributed at our June 25th meeting. This is a great project for your children and family to participate in. Grab a handful of flags to take home and let's spread some pride in our country this July 4th!
