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.
At least 7 million children under the age of five die each year due to malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. How can we as Rotarians address this issue in our own community here in Lewisville? We can we work with CCA, the school s system and other agencies to identify those needy families. The community needs our ingenuity.
The Weather Outside was Frightful. But the Auction inside was Delightful
Because of the bad weather we only had 30 bidders at our auction. However, the fund raiser was a success. We had over 110 donated items to auction. With the proceeds from the Auction we sponsored the Chalk This Way Scholarship Competition.
Congratulations to the Scholarship winners - 1 Daisy Rosas, 2 Allison Rosenbaum, 3 Sydney Simeone
We will have photo's of these artists and their creations in future additions.
A great big Thank You to the Hebron High School Interact Club for all their assistance in setting up the event. Members Doris Scales, Diana McMillan, Dean Davis, Todd Taylor, Cynthia Jarid, Bob Troyer, Jim Wear, Mary Handley Jones, Frank Hebb, Carolyn Wright, John & Marilyn Pokorny were instrumental in preparing the Wednesday before and the day of the event. Thank You to All
Thanks also to the Lewisville Noon Club for their assistance Saturday and financial participation in Sponsoring the Scholarship. Our sponsorship included a giant chalk Rotary Gear with the Club Names on the City Hall corner of Charles and Church. Unfortunately, the wheel was just finished and immediately washed away by the torrential downpour that morning.
All in all it was a wonderful day. Thank You to Chair Person Marilyn Pokorny and all the ladies of our club for organizing this wonderful event.
Congratulations also to Christi Martin, Chairman of Chalk This Way for a wonderful event. It truly was a Community event that we in Rotary were proud to participate along with the Lewisville Area Arts Alliance and the City of Lewisville.
