We all had a scare last week when Mary reported that long time Rotarian Gordon Roe was taken by ambulance to Medical City Lewisville after Patsy has found him in distress in the living room floor. Well fear no more, Gordon reports that after running a battery of tests that took two full days, they released him with a diagnosis of Acute Respiratory Infection. Gordon tells me that he is almost back to a normal schedule and that he is praising God for his return to good health.

 

Busy day of Service with our Lewisville Morning Rotary buds. Emptying 108 residents vehicles of their Household Hazardous Waste and prepping 1100 dictionaries for distribution to 3rd graders in 11 LISD title I schools. Great work by 12 of our members, our youth exchange student and 2 LHS Interact kids.

For our club members he is simply Henrik. Henrik is shown here in an sponsors ad in the

Marcus Basketball "Pound the Rock" Basketball Program.

 

Henrick is a German Exchange student from Ulm, Germany. His host parents are Lewisville Morning Rotary members John & Marilyn Pokorny. Henrik hopes to experience as much of American culture as possible over his year long visit to Texas including of course american style basketball. Join his fan club and come to watch him play JV basketball for Marcus. See Schedule for game dates, times and locations.

Very proud of the Interact Students at The Colony High School for making Christmas

A little better for their under-served peers at TCHS.

 

Photo from the 2016 District 5790 Rotary Inbound Youth Exchange Christmas Party

 

Henrik Thimm, our youth exchange student is shown here in the very center. At 2 meters tall (6'-6 1/2"), he is not quite as tall as he appears in this photo standing atop the fire place seat. But, he is certainly much taller than everyone else in the room. The student on Henriks right is Peter Sole, a youth exchange student from Italy whose sponsoring club is Cross Timbers RC. Peter is also attending Marcus HS. The little guy on Peters right is photo bombing. He is one of the children from the family in Burleson that hosted the party. The older dude in the center of the photo is Norm King, District 5790 Rotary Youth Exchange Director. Norm needs to be either Knighted or Canonized for the wonderful work he does with both the inbound and outbound students. He has been a wonderful resource for us as host parents.

Congratulations Andrea

 

Andrea has been teaching Economics and Psychology at The Colony High School for 13 years. She was selected by the members of The Colony High School Interact Club because in their eyes she most exemplifies the criteria for the award that was defined by Rotary District 5790;
