President's Message
Change Agents
Last Thursday was a first for Roswell Rotary as we hosted a mix of online and in person meeting. Combined, 75 Roswell Rotarians took part. We proved that Rotary is a flexible gathering that offers ways for everyone who wants to stay connected.
In the words of Paul Harris, we must be revolutionary from time to time. Now is such a time for us to embrace change that will strength us as we remain true to our core values.
