End of Summer Pool Party
hosted by
Mark and Nancy Smith
Thank you Mark & Nancy. You two host a fantastic party. Even though the only way any of got wet at your pool party is when Sadie retrieved the ball from the pool and shook out her coat, we all had a blast. The games were fun, the food was fantastic and of course the company was outstanding. Only in Texas can it be to hot to go swimming (except for Ryker and Sadie). That did not stop us from enjoying a great time with our Rotary Buds.
Congratulations!

Lewisville Morning Rotary provides books for
Central Elementary School Library
For at least 20 years, the Lewisville Morning Rotary Club has been donating at lease 35 library books to the Central Elementary School library.

Rotary Community Corps (RCCs) are teams of men and women
who work in partnership with Rotary clubs to improve their communities
Membership in an RCC is open to any adult in the community who shares Rotary’s commitment to service but is not a Rotary member. The RCC model is flexible and can mobilize volunteers from all walks of life. Informal meetings typically take place once per month and attendance is not mandatory. This flexibility encourages diversity in membership and allows members to focus solely on service projects. RCCs also provide their members with opportunities to collaborate with Rotarians. Anyone interested in becoming an RCC member can submit an application form here.
