Memorial Day was our 1st "Flag Program"Holiday of the year. Flag Day (14 June) was the second. As of today we have almost 100 new flag subscriptions. Many kudos' to Brent Myers and Bob Shell who have been busting their backsides to get the sleeves installed for these new flag locations.
Renewals of flag subscriptions are lagging behind with over 70 residents that have yet to renew their subscriptions. It is not to late for them. If they miss their Flag Day flag, they can always renew at a prorated rate.
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.On-line registration is always available on our website.
More than 20,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed every year in Sri Lanka, and many of them prove fatal. The Rotary Club of Colombo, Sri Lanka, set out 10 years ago to save some of those lives by establishing the Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Centre.
In partnership with the National Cancer Control Programme and the Ministry of Health, the center in Colombo has screened more than 35,000 patients, mostly low-income, and detected more than 7,500 cases of abnormalities that required further investigation. The Rotary Club of Birmingham, Alabama, USA, donated a mammography and ultrasound...

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.
Melissa Troyer Rowe will be running in the GE Irving Marathon on April 4, 2015. She will be doing the Marathon while pushing her mother (a polio victim) in a buggy. She is doing this to raisemoney and awareness for the eradication of polio! She has watched her mom's body be wracked by Post Polio Syndrome and would love to see this disease ended. Coincidentally when she pushes her mom's buggy in the marathon Melissa will be the same age her mom was when she first had to use a wheelchair. Please donate if you can!"

Sense & Nonsense
The Engineer and the Manager
A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a man below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 42 degrees north latitude and between 58 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the man, "but how did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."
The man below responded, "You must be a manager."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "how did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are exactly in the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
