This Week's Speaker
Join us this week at the Roswell Rotary meeting for our Memorial Day Celebration. This is always a special pre-Memorial Day event to honor those that have given the greatest sacrifice to assure our American freedoms.
Each year, Dave Young, Chairman, heads up the Roswell Rotary Memorial Day committee as a joint effort with the City of Roswell to plan one of the southeast's largest Memorial Day ceremonies. This year marks Roswell's 22nd celebration. Thanks to many Roswell Rotarians and community members and businesses that provide time and monetary donations to make the ceremony a wonderful event.
The Memorial Day event is at the Roswell City Hall, Monday, May 27. The military ceremony begins at 11 a.m. This year's speaker is Colonel (Ret) Patricia S Blassie. With a 40-year career in the Air Force, Col Blassie is the Deputy Director, Directorate of Manpower, Personnel, and Services Headquarters Air Force Reserve Command, Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.
Attitude matters. Words matter.

Are You Able to Help During a Meeting?
We need YOU! Are you interested in serving your fellow Rotarians by being a Greeter, leading the Pledge of Allegiance or the 4-Way Test? These are simple, important and fun tasks. The Greeters arrive at 11:30 a.m. and warmly welcome our Rotarians and guests for 30 minutes, a Rotarian officially speaks the Pledge of Allegiance with the group and the administrator of the 4-Way Test leads the assembly in stating the 4-Way Test.

If you have any questions, please see Allison Judy or Dave Hallman. Thank you!
