President's Message
GENEROSITY

This week, we will celebrate the generosity of Roswell Rotary and the over 30 charities with whom Roswell Rotary contributes to the lives of those in need. Generosity comes in many forms and is proven to improve not only the recipients’ lives but also the lives of the givers. Roswell Rotarians give their time, talents, money and service each year at the Aubrey Greenway Golf and Hagan Cup Classic Tennis Tournaments so that we can IMPACT lives in Roswell and around the world. In addition, Roswell Rotarians are actively engaged in most of the charities with whom we partner to further IMPACT lives and grow their individual passions. Our charity partners help the homeless, feed the hungry, educate our youth, support our seniors and veterans, and so much more. Their generosity in time, talent, money and service INSPIRES all of us as they touch individual lives in so many ways. We can proud of this service to our community and the world.

Please join us Thursday to celebrate this great work!

President Becky

P.S. A special shoutout to Bruce Smith, Stacy Sims, Mindy Jones and all of the volunteers for another great Roswell Rotary Relays! Great food, fun and fellowship! Awesome job!

This Week's Speaker

Nancy Diamond and Rich Dippolito, our Charity Committee Co-Chairs, lead us in celebrating Roswell Rotary's support of local charities from the efforts of the annual Aubrey Greenway Golf and Hagan Cup Tennis Tournament. Funds raised at last year's golf tournament, in its 40th year, and tennis tournament, in its 6th year, is allowing Roswell Rotary to support over 30 charities. Roswell Rotary Club President, Becky Stone, says, "It is an honor to donate over $200,000 to help others doing good work in our own community." Organizations such as Be The Voice, Honor Air, End Human Trafficking, North Fulton Community Charities, Star House, Drake House, Jacob's Ladder, Stand Up For Kids and many others will benefit from the incredible work volunteers, participants, and sponsors provided last September 10. This is the true result of "People of Action" inspiring so many in our community and around the world.

River Clean-up Needs You

Roswell Rotary is proud to be a cleanup site sponsor for Sweep the Hooch – held April 6^th, 9am to 12pm! Sweep the Hooch is an annual day of service to the Chattahoochee River watershed mobilizing volunteers on foot, in waders, or kayak/canoe paddlers to remove trash at locations throughout the watershed. Sweep the Hooch brings people together to give back to the mighty river that gives us so much. Last year, with the help of over 900 volunteers, we removed 24 TONS from our watershed. This is a great family event!
