Thank you to the Board of Directors and other club members that have been working to establish this years goals.

Hills areas

Memorial Day was our 1st "Flag Program"Holiday of the year. Flag Day (14 June) was the second. On Independacne Day (July 14) we put out 270 flags. We have almost 100 new flag subscriptions. Many kudos' to Brent Myers and Bob Shell who busted their backsides to get the sleeves installed for these new flag locations.
Renewals of flag subscriptions are lagging behind with over 40 residents that have yet to renew their subscriptions. It is not to late for them. They can renew at a prorated rate for the last three holidays.
Please talk to your neighbors and friends in Lewisville (including Castle Hills), Flower Mound and Highland Village. If they have not renewed, encourage them to do so. At this time we are not accepting new subscriptions for this year. Online registration for renewals is always available on our website.
On Saturday, September 12, 2015, members of the Lewisville Morning Rotary Club and the City of Lewisville will host our next monthly Household Hazardous Waste collection project.
On August 8 Lewisville Morning Rotarians and City of Lewisville employees collected and processed the waste of 99+ residents at the City of Lewisville Convenience Center.
Please contact Todd Taylor (ttaylor280@gmail.com) to let him know you will be Volunteering at the September 12 event.

If you watch closely, you will see Lewisville Morning Rotarian Bob Troyer preparing a weekend "backpack" sack for a child in the 12 county Wichita Falls area that would not otherwise have quality food choices to get them through the week end. Bob will be joining fellow Lewisville Morning Rotarians on July 11 for Household Hazardous Waste collection and July 25th for CCA Pantry duty our local Lewisville area service projects.
At this years District Conference in Wichita Falls, Lewisville Morning Rotary Club received several awards recognizing it's accomplishments this past year.
In addition to his Service through Rotary, Terry's serves on the Board of Directors for Honor Flight. Honor Flight is committed to taking our aging War Veterans to Washington DC to visit our nations memorials, in particular the memorials of the wars they participated.
Dr. Cynthia Jaird was given the Rookie of the Year award by President Bob Troyer at our recent Pass the Gavel event.
Cynthia's commitment to Service Above Self was immediately obvious even before joining our club last November. Once she joined, she immediately immersed herself in some of our many service projects in spite of her extremely busy job as Principal of Central Elementary School.

Thirty-four Rotarians and their spouse/guests enjoyed a great meal, good fellowship and music by musician song writer Eric Smith in the MCL Grand Theater Recital Hall.
This years event was usually rewarding because we also inducted new member Dr.Traci Pettiway.
