President Alex's Message
Fellow Rotarians: This month we give thanks to all of the blessings that we have received. We are grateful for all those who volunteered to support our veterans this month, including at our basketball tournament. We are also grateful for the great success we've had with the Roswell Christkindl Market and I continue to urge everyone to invite your friends and family to our great Christmas gathering. Additionally, this week we will gather and join as we have our speaker Honorary Counsel Monika from the Czech Republic in which she will share not only her own personal journey in the automotive industry but also a history about her native country, The Czech Republic and its global outlook and its relationship with the US. Alex B. Kaufman Economic and Cultural Diplomat from Czech Republic to Speak
Monika Vintrlikova is an accomplished Senior Executive with 20+ years of experience in automotive manufacturing. She has valuable expertise in management, quality, engineering, production, and HR for the automotive and agriculture industry. In 2011, Monika relocated to the United States from her native Czech Republic to establish an American manufacturing entity for ALBAform. She was able to accelerate its growth and success while minimizing the risk of an internationalization process. Currently, Monika continues to grow ALBAform’s manufacturing business. She is responsible for expansion strategies and financial planning, as well as some internal procedures. On October 1, 2020, Monika was appointed the Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic in Atlanta. She is responsible for accommodating Economic diplomacy between Czech Republic and Georgia, USA, such as connecting trading and manufacturing companies. Monika is also assisting Public diplomacy with promoting Czech and Moravian culture, language education and film, and organizing related events. Lastly, her team provides Consular services for Czech citizens through a consular office in Sandy Springs, GA. In addition, Monika (together with her husband Jan) is the founder of the Moravian Glory Foundation that preserves Czech traditions and culture. The aim is to rescue an old art of folk motif painting by organizing domestic and abroad exhibitions and workshops. Monika resides in Lawrenceville, GA with her husband Jan and their two teenage daughters. Invitational Success
The Rotary Veterans’ Appreciation Basketball Tournament 2023 was a fantastic success. Thanks to all who played and participated, with a 3 POINT SHOUT OUT TO LYNNE LINDSEY, DAVE YOUNG, and GENE BECKHAM for coordinating. Every year in November at Roswell High School your efforts at this Invitational support all our veteran programs: our Ft. Moore Bus Trip, Adopt-A-Platoon, Memorial Day activities, and more. Congratulations to Girl’s winner Midtown High School & Runner-up Riverwood High. Job well done! And congratulations to the Centennial team that went undefeated in the Boy’s Round Robin tournament. Go Knights! Last week at Rotary
