Independence Day Flag Deployment

"When we honor our flag, we honor what we stand for as a nation--freedom, equality, justice and hope." Ronald Reagan

Join Young Men's Service League and Club Members, led by Steve Weible, as we deploy flags at Frisco Commons and Warren Park on Friday, June 29th at 6 pm. This will be the first deployment of two flags at a World War 2 memorial that was requested to be added to our flag responsibility.

This Week in Rotary

Our year-end celebration is this week, so come to join the preparation for hand-off to President Elect Dawn Cruzan and her Board next month. In addition to recognizing the almost 2,000 hours of community service and various projects, we will be presenting our Rotarian of the Year, voted on by the membership. The recipient’s name is “Top Secret”, so come to be there for the revelation.

President's Message

This year’s Rotary theme is “Making a Difference” and as I reflect on the year, it is a joy to realize we have done that in many respects.

We have changed venues, changed Presidential order, changed some Board positions; added two new committees to the club structure and more. We gave $6,600 to local charities from budget, provided over $8,000 through our newly-founded Grant Committee, provided financial means for two teens to participate in an international service project, sent four teens to RYLA and awarded three four-year college scholarships to deserving local students.

Through the year, over 1,800 hours of community service were donated, which according to Frisco ISD scale, is valued at over $36,000. That doesn’t include the hundreds of hours of weekly work for the club administratively, financially and in other respects. We added two new service projects and a monthly Project of the Month, which aided multiple local organizations. Our members gave thousands of hours this year to benefit our community and I applaud all those who were a part of that effort.

Members worked in six elementary and with all local high schools, expanding awareness of Rotary and our values of service above self and the Four Way Test. Our Interact Club grew from a dozen to over 40 members, and received several District awards, including sending a team of three students to Model UN at the International Peacekeeping Conference. In addition, four of our Interact members were selected to fill seven District positions for next year, the most from a single club.

Our flag program collaborated with the Young Men’s Service League, which created a mutually beneficial means of building, and hopefully expanding, our flag provision in local parks.

The first international project supported by our club was completed in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, as the culmination of several year’s work. Two of our Interact teens accompanied our committee leadership, for first-hand exposure to the needs of our international recipients and to service avenues.

It’s been a year of difference in many lives touched by our club, and the impact will continue for years to come. I look forward to celebrating our club’s accomplishments and all those who led the efforts to fulfill this theme to the fullest. Join us for our celebration at this week’s meeting.

Raffle Drawing Near

The Travel Raffle is the biggest fund raising activity of the club for this Rotary year and we are currently selling tickets. Most members have taken responsibility for selling tickets, but to date, only 119 ticket funds have been turned in. This represents less than 50% of the total ticket sales, and since we hoped to have the drawing on June 28, we really need all members with tickets checked out to turn in the funds for those tickets immediately . Please contact Chris Johnson at: chris@stylepublishing.com or turn in the funds at the meeting.

Approximately 70% of the membership has participated in the ticket sales; we need full participation in order to complete the goal which will enable next year's President, Dawn Cruzan, to start the year with a proper budget in place. These funds allow for the scholarships, youth projects, international and community service of our club throughout the year, so is key to allowing us to continue to make a difference in the fullest degree possible.
