Presidents Message

It goes without saying that I didn’t sleep much the night before the golf and tennis tournament. I felt like a kid on Christmas Eve and our fundraiser lived up to all the hype leading up to our day. Coach McFarlin, Rich Austin and crew did a fantastic job this year bringing in some heavy hitters from the NFL and MLB. The weather cooperated and despite playing two less holes, everyone I spoke to had a great time. It won’t be known for some time how much money we raised for our charities, but one thing is for sure, we accomplished our goal of creating a very well-organized fun filled event.

You can never say “thank you” enough so THANK YOU! again to all our sponsors, and to everyone who volunteered their time, talent, and treasures to this year’s event.

  • Like minded.
  • Same Passion.
  • One Goal.

This week we won’t have our normal meeting, so if you come to the Roswell Area Park on Thursday and get a great parking space, don’t say we didn’t tell ya so. Please join us for our next meeting on September 23rd when we hear about how the Atlanta Angels are doing great things by helping families in the foster care community.

Huge Kudos to Everyone for 2021 Tournament Success
Why All of Your Hard Work Matters So Much

So Grateful to Roswell Rotarians

No words to express the gratitude for all of the hard work from our club members and so many others that contributed to the success of our Roswell Rotary Golf & Tennis Tournament this year. Led by Tim McFarlin, 2021 Tournament Chair, this was truly a Club-wide effort. And way too many people to thank to get it right. So for right now, while we are all still glowing from the results of all the efforts and recovering from a long day on the course and courts and maybe even a little too much Haganade, let's think the amazing things that will happen with the $$$$$ we raised through this tournament.

Rivers Alive in Roswell Sep 18 8:00am
Chattahoochee River Cleanup

Join us for a the RIVERS ALIVE fall river cleanup of the beautiful Roswell section of the Chattahoochee.

Registration will be at 8:30am and the event will last about 3 hours or until you've collected all the trash you can haul. This is a perfectly suited socially distanced outdoor service opportunity for our club. Additionally it promises to be a lot of fun for a good cause. Our own clean river advocate Dutch Earle is, as usual, organizing our group however will be unable to attend that particular morning. Dutch asks that you contact him early to sign up so we can provide a head count.
