President Nancy's Message
Remembering 9/11 and Honoring Our First Responders
As we reflect on the events of 9/11, we are reminded of the courage and sacrifice of our first responders. To honor their service, Roswell Rotary started the First Responder Drive-Through BBQ, an initiative launched by Past President Lynne during the height of COVID-19.
This tradition has become a cherished way for our club to show gratitude to those who tirelessly protect and serve our community. Let’s continue to remember, honor, and support our first responders, not just on this solemn day, but every day.
Thanks to the Interact Club volunteers from Blessed Trinity, Centennial, and Roswell High School. And special thanks to Jack Wyche, Gene Beckham and Dave Young for heading this project up and being the grill masters.
Thank You to Our Amazing Rotarians for a Fantastic Tournament!
A heartfelt thank you to all the Rotarians who sponsored, played, and worked at this year's tournament! We were blessed with beautiful weather and a wonderful day filled with friendly competition, laughter, and community spirit.
Your dedication and hard work made the event not only a success but also a joyful occasion for everyone involved. Whether you were out on the course swinging clubs, coordinating logistics, or cheering players on, your contributions truly made a difference.
Together, we enjoyed a fun-filled day while raising funds for our ongoing service projects. A special thanks to our many volunteers and especially to Joe Mazzeo, Mindy Jones, Rich Austin, Michael Curling, Bob Clarkson, Jerry Orlans, Ryan Gehricke, Karen Schwank, and more whose steady leadership and "do what it takes" attitude made the event so smooth and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for embodying the Rotary spirit and making this event one to remember!
