President Alex's Message

Fellow Rotarians-

I hope that everyone enjoyed the State of City last week as well as our well attended lunch. I hate that I missed it!

Please stay focused on supporting our many upcoming service projects. If you would like to help out on our Veterans initiatives (adopt a platoon, Basketball fundraiser, and Honor Bus) please let Alicia, Gene, Roger or me know! We have opportunities galore and we need veterans to join our Honor Bus. Despite the beautiful warm weather, we are working hard on our Christmas Market Fundraiser and please remember that Youth Day is rapidly approaching!

See you Thursday for our exciting speaker and thank you for all that you do.

Alex


The Story of Coach Jeremy Williams
Andy Robinson to Speak


Andy Robinson is joining us to speak about the book TENACIOUS, the story of legendary Georgia High School Football Coach Jeremy Williams, who courageously battled ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), while coaching and mentoring in the small town of Greenville GA.  Andy is a life-long resident of Columbus GA.  He retired from AFLAC as a Manager after a 27 year corporate career.  He has been a member of St. Luke Church his entire life.  Andy enjoys volunteering and giving back to the community in many ways.  He previously served as a Board Member of The Valley Rescue Mission.  Andy played on a Georgia High School State Championship Golf team, and later competed at the collegiate level. He is a Certified U.S.KIDS Golf Coach. He devotes his spare time to promoting the game of golf, teaching children, and beginners the basics of the sport.

Not Getting Rotoscope?
Where is my rotoscope?????

Have you been missing your Rotoscope? We have several members who used to receive the newsletter weekly and are no longer getting it in their email box. what's going on? It could be it's going to spam, could be an error with your email address, could be security software on the receiving end, OR IT COULD BE a MYSTERY!

We have the experts working on solving the mystery for our Roswell Rotarians who are not getting their newsletter. in the meantime, do this:

1. Report it to Tori Neilson at admin@roswellrotary.com

2. Check Roswell Rotary's Facebook page on Tuesdays. The Rotoscope link is posted there weekly.

3. Grab a paper copy at the Thursday meeting.

4. Watch the rolling powerpoint at the front of the meeting room on Thursdays.
