Caroling, Wreaths, and Shining a Light
President John's Message

This week we end the year 2022 at Roswell Rotary with holiday fun and a message of Hope.  

Join us Wednesday night on Canton Street as we sing old Christmas favorites and enjoy hospitality starting at Michael Agurkis’s office at 6 PM. 

Thursday's meeting brings more fun with an ugly sweater contest, more singing, and message of Hope from Pastor Lee Jenkins. 

Saturday, we honor our departed veterans as we lay wreaths on their graves as part of Wreaths Across America.

My wish for everyone this holiday season
is to find 
Peace, Love, Hope and Joy!

Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukkah!
and a Happy New Year!

Ugly Sweaters and Singing
Program Dec. 15: Hope with Pastor Lee Jenkins

Join your Roswell Rotary friends this Thursday for a special message of Hope from Pastor Lee Jenkins. It's a message we all yearn to hear as we celebrate the holidays and make plans for the new year. 

Please wear your ugliest Holiday Sweater...the worst of the worst will be honored with the famed Ugliest Sweater Award. And be ready for some singing. Doesn't matter if you can sing in tune or not. It's the spirit and the joy! Hope to see you and your sweater Thursday!

You can help
Roswell Teen Talks Podcast Program-How to Share!

Roswell Rotary recently launched the Roswell Teen Talk Podcast Series because today’s Roswell students say being a teen has never been more challenging. Parents struggle with ways to help their teens navigate through today’s environment. Listen to their struggles and learn how to help with tips from professional mental health experts, teachers and parents. This series is Phase 1 (of 3) of a partnership between the WellStar Foundation and Roswell Rotary.  Roswell Rotary (THAT MEANS YOU AND ME!!) will be the boots on the ground to get the message out to students and parents throughout our community and beyond.  This content is FREE and our goal is to share it with EVERYONE!  Here’s what you do:
