Trustworthy is the 1st point of the scout law and my parents got the plaque to honor me because I’m an Eagle Scout and they always thought I was trustworthy. The Boy Scouts were offering the Pilars which are the points of the scout law to raise money for the new building. The building was dedicated in 2002.

On Friday, March 21st, our dear friend and fellow Kiwanian, Laurie Schotz, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Laurie was transported to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas, where she passed.

Laurie was not only an incredible friend but also an extraordinary human being. Her kindness, energy, and passion touched everyone who knew her, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of calling her a friend.

Laurie’s Kiwanis journey began in Indiana in 2013. She later joined the Roswell Kiwanis Club in 2016, where she served as Membership Chair, welcoming many new members to the group. In fact, her most recent recruit was inducted just days before her passing, on Tuesday, March 18th. Laurie served as President of the Roswell Kiwanis Club in 2019-2020 and, in 2024, became the Executive Director of the Southwest District of Kiwanis.

Beyond her dedication to Kiwanis, Laurie had a deep love for animals. She rescued many, including her horse Roy, her mule Roscoe, and Ahab, her three-legged dog. She also found comfort in knowing that her beloved dog Kermit and her horse Red were waiting to greet her in heaven.

We will miss you dearly, Laurie. Your friendship, leadership, and compassion will never be forgotten.
