Kudos to Carolyn Herndon and Dotty Etris for writing our awards documents.

As a club, we have accomplished a great deal this year even with Covid hanging over our heads:

  • We enjoyed several wonderful speakers and “in person” meetings.
  • We recharged the beds at Roswell Adult Rec and have a game plan for some great activities there.
  • We decorated our hearts out at The Smith House. It was a showplace inside and out.
  • So far this spring the butterfly garden at Barrington got new life, and the veggie garden at Smith is planted and ready to grow, and the hydrangeas at Smith are spiffed up once again.

Teamwork can be defined as, “The ability to work together toward a common vision.” Our vision is to make Roswell more beautiful, and I’d say the RGC team went above and beyond during this difficult year to make our city and the world a better place.
