Historic Roswell Kiwanis made its annual trek to Roswell Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (RNRC) where it conducted a club meeting on-site.  Honorary Roswell Kiwanian and facility resident Ron Fowler served as host for the visiting Kiwanians.

Every year, usually in June, Historic Roswell Kiwanis conducts a weekly meeting at Roswell Rehab.  Facility Director Michele Coyne spoke to Kiwanians and answered questions about RNRC (above).

Historic Roswell Kiwanis has served the residents of the facility for over a quarter of a century. Every Thursday for the past 28 years, Roswell Kiwanians have conducted spirited games of bingo for residents. Other recent projects at the center have included a computer project, organized by Kiwanian Roger Lamprey in conjunction with senior engineering students from Georgia Tech. Historic Roswell Kiwanis has enhanced a personal computer with special hardware for use by center resident Ron Fowler, who has very limited mobility.  Additionally, Historic Roswell Kiwanis has provided equipment for the center, such as a sound system used for events and activities.

The meeting concluded with a rousing game of bingo, with master caller Frank Robinson doing the honors.
