We are collecting School Supplies for Pedi-Place all July and August. Click here to see the list of supplies needed and bring them to a meeting. Bring your donated school supplies to the Club Social this evening at LaRue's
We are also accepting online donations for these school supplies. Members will use the school supply cash and online donations to shop for the school supplies needed by Pedi-Place families.
Fun fact...the cost of purchasing the school supplies on the schools list for a 3rd grade student is a minimum $36.75 per student (3rd grade through 6th grade) plus the cost of a backpack if one is needed.

Thanks to a 50-50 donation by member Todd Taylor our 50-50 Can is more fun than ever. The odds of being able to draw a winning card have improved.
Our 50-50 donation fund is used to help support many of our clubs service projects including library books for the CES Library, The Dictionary Project and others. With your donation, not only does the donating person with the winning ticket have the opportunity to win 50% of the pot (one card in the remaining deck), we have 15 two dollar winning cards in the deck, 2 five dollar winners in the deck and 1 $10 winner in the deck.
Playing is easy. Just donate $1 for a ticket that if drawn will allow you to draw from the deck. Or, increase your odds by donating $2 for 3 tickets or $4 for six tickets or $5 for 10 tickets. Forgot to bring cash to the meeting with you? No problem, donate online by clicking here. We will process your donation along with a small transaction fee so that you can participate in the fun.

Responsibility for the various activities that occur during our meeting are scheduled on a rotating basis to each member of the club.
There are several components to a successful Rotary meeting such as set-up and tear-down, greeter and guest introduction, 50-50 and happy thoughts, invocation, lead the pledges, arranging and introducing the speaker and our Rotary 4way test at the end of the meeting. The schedule is published on our website. Members are asked to review the schedule to determine when they are responsible for arranging the speaker. Try to arrange the speaker 4 to 6 weeks in advance. Please notify our webmaster, John Pokorny who your speaker is so your speakers name and presentation subject can be posted on the website to promote our meetings. Click here to see the 1st quarter meeting schedule and plan when you are scheduled for one of the meeting duties.
Fundraising at the Lewisville Morning Rotary Club can be fun.
At every meeting members can participate in the weekly 50-50 Drawing. For a $1 donation you receive 1 ticket. For a $2 donation you receive 3 tickets. At the end of the meeting, we draw one ticket from the 50-50 can. The person with the winning ticket gets to choose from the remaining cards in the card deck. If the card is marked "winner", that person will share 50% of the funds in the 50-50 kitty. Forgot your folding money? No problem, simply go our website on your phone and select 50-50 Donation to donate. We need to charge a small transaction fee. But this is a convenient way to participate in this fun event.
