Household Hazardous Waste
Saturday, Jan. 11th
Lewisville Convenience Center, 330 Jones St.
Members and their family and friends that wish to volunteer this Saturday should sign-up here. Or, contact Todd Taylor. This is our signature community service project in which we assist residents who bring their household hazardous waste to the Lewisville Convenience Center by emptying their vehicles of the waste and assisting city employees in properly segregating the waste so that it can be safely shipped to organizations that will recycle or safely dispose of waste.
Rotary and Toastmasters working together
creating opportunities for professional
growth of both Rotary and Toastmaster members
Please read the announcement letter from RI President Mark Maloney. This is a wonderful opportunity for our members and that of the members of Lewisville's 3 Toastmaster Clubs; Westside Baptist Church Toastmasters, Flower Mound Toastmasters and Parkway Toastmasters. While we are very early into our relationship, our members are encouraged to learn about Toastmasters, invite Toastmaster members to our meetings and seek synergies where our clubs working together can make an impact for members and the community.

Celebrating the joy of Christmas
Several of our members spouses and friends joined us for our annual Christmas Party last Thursday. Members brought gifts to be given to children at CCA and White Elephant Gifts that we shared with each other in a fun Lefty-Righty game where Jeff Lighton read a story and every time he said right we pushed the gift in front of us to the right. Every time he said left we moved the gift left until the story ended. The gift in front of us when Jeff was done reading was the gift we opened. Great fun.

"Becoming a Rotarian
was a natural part
of my DNA"
I became a Rotary because it makes significant positive impact at local, country and the world all in one tremendous organization.
I love being a Rotarian.
Who wouldn't??
I could participate in programs that I didn't hold a degree in, I could work side by side with really interesting and cool people, I could meet people I probably wouldn't have the ability to meet and suddenly I realized I had an immediate pipeline of new friends and became part of a "family"
