PRESIDENT'S CORNER
President Lisa Stueve's Welcome Message
Rotary International is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
The Rotary Club of Sandy Springs meets most Mondays at the Hilton Atlanta Perimeter Suites at 12:15 PM. The lunch program includes club business and also hosts guest speakers - business professionals, elected officials, non-profit leaders and others from the Sandy Springs area.
We’re always looking for ways to make an impact in the community; our club members are actively engaged with senior and youth programs that support leadership development and student scholarship. While our motto and most important feature of Rotary International is “Service Above Self,” we also work together in fellowship as we enjoy great camaraderie. Like us on Facebook Sandy Springs' Facebook Page to keep up to date on our club's activities!
I hope you will enjoy our weekly newsletter and I invite you to join us for lunch soon!
Lisa Stueve, President, Rotary Club of Sandy Springs, 2016-17

On October 3, 2016, 2X World Open Speed Chess Winner Orrin Hudson, founder of Be Someone, Inc., spoke to the Rotary Club of Sandy Springs. One of the best programs yet and lots of fun.

One member of the Rotary Club of Sandy Springs dared to play a game of timed chess with Orrin, which went about as well as expected.
