Fly The Flag Program

Join the Roswell Lions Club as we work to return old-fashioned American Patriotism to our community. We are offering a "Fly the Flag" program as a service to you and the community. We will support your efforts to fly the American flag on six of the most important national holidays each year. The Roswell Lions Club will install the display hardware at your direction and each holiday a member of our club will put up the flag, take it down and store it until the next designated holiday. When you display the flag you are letting the public know that you care and together our efforts will confirm to everyone that we believe in America and support its traditions and freedoms. The six holidays are: President's Day/February, Memorial Day/May, Flag Day/June, Independence Day/July, Labor Day/September and Veterans Day/November. Please support our participating sponsors.

The mission of Rivers Alive is to create awareness of and involvement in the preservation of Georgia's water resources.  

The Roswell Lions along with several volunteers from the community cleaned up Foe Killer Creek between Alpharetta Highway and Upper Hembree Road. About 40 bags of trash were collected including tires, tire rims, tennis balls, cans, bottles and other assorted pieces of trash. Results from the previous Rivers Alive cleans be seen at  http://riversalive.com/ra_results.htm
