Welcome New Member David Houck Background: I grew up in New Jersey and moved to the Detroit area for work, where I met my wife, Tina. (She is a former Rotary member, so some of you may know her.) Since then, we have lived in Roswell for the past ten years. For those who are wondering, the weather is much nicer in Atlanta than it was in Detroit. We live in East Roswell-Horseshoe Bend. Why I joined Roswell Rotary: I am looking forward to connecting and getting to know everyone at Rotary and seeing what we can do together in Roswell! I have already spent time working on the Blood Drives. And am working with Public Image Committee. I am eager to plug in where I am needed! [read more] Thursday June 19 5pm

Back to School Backpack Drive Let’s kick Lee’s year off with the 2nd annual Back-to-School Backpack Stuffing for Huskies Helping Huskies, the 501(c)3 dedicated to helping those in need at Crabapple Middle School. Launched in 2015, Roswell Rotary Club and individual members of it have extended foundational support whether money, services, media and/or introductions the entire tenure. Middle School students do a lot of work with paper, posters, binders and pencils. These items are more expensive than ever before and the families are having to choose between food, gas or school supplies. Therefore, we are able to help the households by supplying the initial school supply list for the 40 students living on the margins and attending Crabapple.
