Through sunshine, rain or snow, members of BSA Troop 9168 do not miss their appointed rounds of delivering and retrieving Lewisville Area Flag subscriber flags on the holidays Lewisville. As a result of our partnership, BSA Troop 9168 shares flag subscription revenues with the troop so that troop members can participate in camp jamborees, camping trips and in this case a special trip to visit the Lexington Aircraft Carrier.

Congratulations Bob Troyer! Lewisville Morning Rotary Member of the Month for February 2022.
While Bob was not present to recieve his award, he had a great reason for not attending the Feb 17th meeting. Bob was attending President Elect training at Lonestar PETS. Bob will be serving as club president for the 22-23 Rotary year.
If leading by example is a criteria for being a great member of the month
and a great club president, then Bob Troyer has those qualities in spades. Thank you Bob Troyer!
We are grateful to our Flag Program Partners at BSA Troop 9168.
They faithfully deliver our flags to subscribers and pick them up after each of the 10 holidays in our program. The troop is spending the weekend at a campout. So, they are delivering today and tomorrow and picking up the following week-end. See the recent photo of the troop.
Come congratulate Assistant Chief Todd Taylor who is retiring from the Lewisville Police Department after 29 years of service at his retirement celebration hosted by the City of Lewisville at 2:30 PM on Feb 23 at the Denton County Precinct 3 Community Room.

We are so proud of member Charlene Dierks for receiving this honor. Here is what was said about her "Congratulations to Charlene Dierks our February Staff of the Month! Thank you Mrs. Dierks for demonstrating passion and commitment with all of the work that you do in our school and in our community.'
Charlene was also our event chair for the Dictionary Distribution project.
Since 2014 our club has given over 7500 Dictionaries to 3rd grade students at 11 LISD Elementary Schools. This week we are distributing dictionaries to 960 of the 2022 third graders.
Distibuting the dictionaries is actually the most enjoyable part of the project. While passing out the dictionaries, one Rotarian will speak to the students.Introducing themself and fellow Rotary Members from the LMR, We ask students to write the name on the 1st page because the dictionaries are theirs to keep. After every student has a dictionary, they look up word rotary and let them read definition and we tell the story of how Rotary got its name.
