President's Message

If you missed last week’s meeting, well all I can say is, YOU MISSED IT, as this was not your normal Rotary Meeting!

Coach McFarlin and team pulled out all the stops by having Tim's celebrity professional football and baseball friends join us.  Then he surprised everyone in the house with a live concert by the Mike Veal band. WE DANCED!

Susan Rumble organized the program with our very own Talaya Parker sharing how Home Stretch helps many local families like Gina Dubuisson’s. She shared her testimonial of her success in overcoming adversity and refocused her life with the help of Home Stretch and Roswell Rotary. WE CRIED!

And finally, Hal Coleman once again provided the humor at the end, offering to auction off and burn “the suit”. WE LAUGHED!

THIS is what Roswell Rotary is all about.

This week please invite your friends as Coach McFarlin and team will be the program where Steve Stroud will be auctioning off the chance to play golf with some big-name athletes.  To top it off, we will auction off a performance by Mike Veal and band where the lucky winner may be having a party in the future with live entertainment.  Come join us this week as we give back to the community and have fun doing it!
