Last week was a busy week for our Club and hopefully you were there for at least one portion of the fun and service.
Tuesday, March 20, a group of 20 adults and kids met at Frisco FastPacs and spent 90 minutes packing weekend meals for 750 Frisco ISD students. These meals are provided to students on the school lunch program who might otherwise go hungry through the weekend. In addition to the meals packed, our Club provided $359 towards food purchase as our Project of the Month.
That same day, New Member Training was attended by new members Josephus Howard, Chris Jamison and Cindy Johnson and prospective member Christina Gottesch. This training started three years ago to assure that new members are aware of the commitments of membership, their responsibilities and opportunities as members and how best to start their Rotary journey.
These three new members were inducted on Thursday, March 22nd. That meeting also included a presentation from Leadership Frisco Class 21 on the Community Garden which is their class project. This project will include expanding the Community Garden to provide more fresh produce for Frisco Family Services. The garden is moving from its current location to Frisco Commons and that will include building raised beds, benches, storage shed, and pavilion. Our club was challenged to contribute to the project and President Laura will be taking a request for $5,000 funds to work with Frisco Sunrise Rotary to build the Garden shed.
Saturday, March 24 was District 5810 Assembly and you can read more information on that event in a separate article.
