Zoomit, Maskit or Live - Join Us Thursday from Where Ever You Are
We now have multiple “zoom cameras”,
so you won’t miss a minute of the action. Join us from where ever you are!
There are times that travel or business
obligations challenge your ability to attend our lunch meetings. And you don't want to miss our speakers’
messages, Terry’s stories and messages, event updates, announcements and
awards, Happy Dollars and Hal’s raffle comments.
It’s not that you have to attend all
of our meetings. It’s that you want to. And now you can.
Enjoy everything about our meetings
except for the fried chicken. Attend all
meetings virtually thanks to Bob Clarkson and team who provide the camera work
and audio so that you can connect via Zoom for some or all of the week’s
meeting.

Don't Miss a Thing!
RRC Switches From Text Marks to Simple Texting
RRC has switched to Simple Texting for club reminders.
How does this effect me?
If you are a member with a cell phone number on record with the club, you are already set up! You will get a compliance message when we send the first text on the new service.
If you did not give a cell number to the club and want text reminders, just text RRC to 833-456-2829 and this will get you signed up! Easy!
What changes if I already get club texts?
Just the number that the message will come from. So if you see the number 833-456-2829 in your text messages, that's the RRC notification.
Any questions? Tori Nielson, our awesome Club Administrator will help you!
Awesome Weather & People

New location for Tue, May 17: Business Networking Rotary-Style continues
Smarter Biz Dev because it's with Fellow Rotarians (District Event)
This is an opportunity for you or someone on your staff who needs to network and generate revenue, or someone you are interested in recruiting to Roswell Rotary that needs to network with Rotarians:
This is networking with people who have the integrity of the 4 Way Test! This is why Paul Harris formed Rotary for 1905. Professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and conduct business together.
Our last gathering again drew a crowd from the Atlanta Metro, Dunwoody, Peachtree City, Roswell, Sandy Springs and Tucker clubs.
While Rotary is about "Service Above Self," there is a growing place for networking in Rotary, particularly for those responsible for generating revenue.
Location: King & Queen Buildings
Courtside Grille at Concourse Athletic Club
8 Concourse Parkway
Sandy Springs , GA 30328
Plenty of free parking
Please plan to join us on Tue, Jun 21 at 6:30pm.
For more information, please contact Hal Schlenger HSchlenger@GreatSouthBenefits.com | (770-335-0077), or Johnathan Clark of the Tucker Club (johnathanmclark@gmail.com | 404.512.6058).
