Rotary District 5930 - November 2016 Newsletter (Nov 01, 2016)

A message from DG Debbie High

“November is Foundation Month”

Rotary All Stars we celebrate the centennial of The Rotary Foundation Rotary year 2016-2017. We are Rotary Serving Humanity!

We Fly High with Rotary throughout District 5930 as we see the impact of your generous donations to our Rotary Foundation as clubs use their District Simplified Grants and work on global grants.

This month we will interview applicants for the Scholarships to Costa Rica, Global Grant Scholarships for school year 2017-2018, and the new Veteran’s Scholarship.

High Notes from the First Dude

The Month of the “Foundation”

If you are like me you think of the foundation in terms of buildings or education or football. For example, the foundation of a running game is “blocking”. So it seemed logical to “Google” the word foundation.* What I found seems to confirm what I thought I knew.

Want something to do this weekend that doesn't involve Rotary?

Well maybe a little bit of Rotary!

Rockport Rotary Club is proud to have started the Rockport Film Festival ten years ago. We now are co-organizers with the Rockport Center for the Arts.

Do you Like Rotary, Motorcycles & Hate Polio?

I have an idea for a project and I am putting together a committee to implement this project. The goal is to raise awareness and funding to End Polio Now.

We will ride motorcycles around the district in a 2 day event.

Disaster Aid - A Service Project Idea

Fellow Rotarians

Just wanted to share our invoice pricing with you so if someone says they cant get things into Haiti, Disaster Aid International has and will continue to get Sawyer Family Water filters delivered in country for $15.00.

Andy & Elmer Come to Rockport & Fulton

The Rockport Rotary is extending our literacy projects to include second graders. We will be reading to the second graders attending ACISD Live Oak Learning Center. The book is Andy & Elmer's Apple Dumpling Adventure.

Andy & Elmer’s Apple Dumpling Adventure is the story of a young entrepreneur who starts an apple dumpling business. Along the way it teaches and illustrates the Four-Way Test.

My first district meeting was in Auronzo, and we hiked and met the exchange students, there are some pictures attached. And then at the end of the month,

Comfort and Joy Bag Project

The Rockport Rotary Club, led by an idea from the evening meeting members, have created a unique way to bring together several issues - children in need or a crisis situation, interaction with our men/women in blue and the desire to complete a service project by Rotarians. This project is quick and easy, meaningful and touches on several areas of focus.

The Comfort and Joy Bag project is designed to hopefully bring just a bit of those two feelings
