Sad News
Condolences

Our hearts go out to two of our members as they experience loss of beloved family members.

Bob and Andrea O’Brien’s beloved son Adam William O’Brien passed away on May 15 at his home in Arlington, Texas. Adam was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut and lived in Connecticut until age 8, when the family moved to Atlanta. He graduated from St. Pius X Catholic High School in 1997 and from the University of Georgia in 2002. He started his career with Cbeyond and worked the last four years at Microsoft as a Digital Technical Specialist. Adam was known as a caring, fun-loving and funny person who people loved to be around.  A funeral mass will take place on Friday, July 25 in Fairfield, Connecticut.

Meghan Berry’s mom, Kate Bell, passed away on May 19. In her Facebook tribute, Meghan called her mom the kindest soul, never complaining, always acknowledging that someone somewhere had it worse than her. She was an activist, always wanting to help be a voice for people she may never meet or know. She was humble, kind, and had a humor people didn’t expect.” A funeral mass will be held at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Roswell on June 14 at 11 am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St Vincent de Paul ministry at St. Andrew or to The Sandwich Project.

Need a Club Grant Applicaton?

If you want to request financial support from the club for a community or international project, the process typically starts with Club Grant application form. These forms are completed each Rotary year for new and existing projects. You can request the form from Louise Barden - and applications for the 2025-26 Rotary year should be completed and returned by June 30.
