President John’s Message
We are in the season of Thanksgiving (contrary to what the
retailers tell us) and I am thankful to all those who make the Rotary Club of
Roswell the Best Club! I am thankful for all of you who are called to
serve others here in our community and around the world with your ideas, time,
talents, and resources. I am thankful for those who see a need and don’t wait for others
to lead the way - to stop bullying, to end human trafficking, to bring clean
drinking water to those who have never had it, to feed students so that they
can get an education, to take water to those suffering disaster, to help young
girls stay in school each month. I am thankful for those who do the things behind the scenes - to
setup for our meetings, to organize our fundraisers, to support our students
and their activities, to prepare our food, to implement our service projects,
to plan our events, to honor our first responders and veterans. Veterans Day last week reminds us to be thankful for those who
served and those who continue to serve to protect our freedoms and our great
way of life. This week we will continue to honor those who served as we
hear from retired Command Sergeant Major Savita Dyer. Thank you, Roswell Rotary !! |

Her record of service also encompassed several high level positions, including Legislative Liaison for the Secretary of the Army; 3rd Infantry Division Nuclear Senior Enlisted Advisor; Force Protection Sergeant Major for U.S. Division North-Iraq; Senior Enlisted Advisor for the Logistical European Theater; and overseeing Senior Drill Sergeant Training for 3,000+ Initial Entry Trainees. Her numerous awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Star Medals for combat service and campaign medals for Desert Storm, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq. In addition to many military schools, her civilian education includes a Bachelor’s Degree and two Master’s Degrees. SGM Dyer is an exemplary role model, especially to the youth of our great nation. Please help us to welcome this distinguished veteran to our club on Thursday! |

Past President Moment - Dave Young - 2003-04
Every week we recite the 4-Way Test of the things we think, say,
or do. But have you heard about the 3-Way Test? Back in 2004,
Roswell Rotary was called on to serve at District Conference and this new test
was born. Come hear about Roswell Rotary continuing the “Club of the
Year” tradition in our district when we hear from Dave Young about Rotary year
2003-04.
