President's Message
Fun on the Farm
Thanks to all that helped make this such a spectacular day! And a special thanks to Gary Garrett for opening his farm for our families to enjoy good ole Rotary fellowship. The food, skeet shooting, 4 wheeling, pumpkin painting and weather could not have been better. We had a blast!! This Week's Speaker

Jeff has over 20 years of experience in local government and started in the recreation industry as a seasonal lifeguard, ski instructor, summer camp counselor and amateur bingo caller. Jeff has 4 boys ages 7 through 14 and is married to Michelle who is a teacher at Hembree Springs Elementary School.

Since moving to Roswell he has attempted to become a fly fisherman but has yet to actually catch a fish.
Drivers Needed
Meals on Wheels
We had a great response from our September Service Newsletter for Meals on Wheels volunteers. The first training session is Oct. 13th. In case you missed, 7 MOW route out of the Roswell center that operate and deliver meals each weekday Monday-Friday. A typical route has anywhere from 4 to 8 stops, so you’re delivering to 4 to 8 seniors, and lasts about 1.5 hours on average. The routes take place right before lunchtime, with most meals being picked up at the center between 10:00 and 11:00am each day. Most volunteers, whether individuals or groups, sign up to do a route usually once per month. If interested in delivering meals for this very important program contact Mary Trapp marytrapp@kw.com 770-645-1320
