Membership in LMR is by invitation. I'm sure we all know some folks with great personalities that we'd love to work with.
Since we launched our Membership campaign in October, members have brought 111 Non-Rotarian guests have visited our meetings, 7 of which are now members. And, on March 31, 2016 we are inducting 3 more.
Keep up the great work. Don't forget, in April members who have brought the most guests will be served ice cream by the losers that brought the fewest.

As Rotarians, members are called to offer our vocational talents to provide opportunities and to work for the relief of the special needs and to improve the quality of life within the community they live. Also as Rotarians, we wish to raise up as a standard those members of our community that have demonstrated outstanding service to the community in their own chosen vocation.
Thank you to all the fellow Rotarians that served the community of Lewisville by emptying Household Hazardous Waste from the trunks of residents vehicles.
Kudo's to Todd, Bob, TJ, Loren, George, Terry, Alex, Jordan and Howard. Yes Howard. You can take Howard out of LMR but you just can't take LMR HHW out of Howard.
Some of the LMR membership met this morning and worked on our District Award submittals. So proud of LMR. Our members are truly a gift to the world.
Loren is the General Manager of the Westlake Ace Hardware Store on West Main St, in Lewisville. A veteran, Loren and wife Lynn live in Fort Worth. They have two grown children. We look forward to working with Loren on our club service projects and fund raisers.
LMR members showed up at Central ES who partnered with United Way of Denton County again this year to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday on Wednesday March 2nd.
At our January 21st regular weekly meeting Lewisville Morning Rotary hosted our 1st ever 4 Way Speech Contest for students from The Colony High School. We heard 4 wonderful speeches. The subject of each speech was how each student sees the application of the Rotary 4 Way Test of the things we say and do in todays world culture. All the students performed well. There were no losers. The highest scoring contestant will have the opportunity to perform their speech at the Rotary District 5790 Regional Contest in Lewisville on April 30, 2016.

A Rotarian Action Group is an autonomous group of Rotarians, family members, program participants and alumni who are experts in a particular field, such as microcredit or water and sanitation. Group members share their expertise bycollaborating with clubs and districts on service projects.
An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared an office with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients. As he approached the receptionist desk he noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who more resembled a Sumo wrestler. He gave her his name. In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, "YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE; YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?"
All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man. He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, "NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS."
Moral of the story... DON'T MESS WITH OLD FOLKS!
