President's Message, October 20, 2026

Submitted by President Dan Jenkins

Hi All,

Our next Rotary meeting is Tuesday, October 27th, and we're excited to welcome Mary Robichaux, Mayor of Roswell, as our guest speaker! We'll also hear briefly from VetBuds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of our veterans. VetBuds supports veterans in need through reliable transportation, monetary gifts for student veterans, and partnerships with other nonprofits to help provide essential needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. As a coincidence, Mayor Robichaux is closely involved with VetBuds and is helping secure funding for a healthcare facility dedicated to serving our veterans. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about the important work being done in our community to support those who have served our country and other initiatives that will be transformative in the years to come.

Please plan to join us for what promises to be an informative and inspiring meeting! Let's have a great turnout as we welcome Mayor Robichaux and learn more about how we can support these important community efforts. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone Tuesday!
