Coppell Rotary is proud to see the Spirit of Rotary carried forward by our youth. Recent Coppell High School graduate Mihir Kabbur—President of the 2023–24 Interact Club, scholarship recipient, and now a student at UT-Austin—continues to spread Rotary values wherever he goes. From Panama to his latest stop in Mysore, India, Mihir is making an impact.
Now 18, Mihir is eligible to join Rotaract, which connects young adults with opportunities to serve, build leadership skills, and collaborate with community leaders. This October, he will be featured on the Mysore Rotaract Club podcast, “Beyond the Badge,” highlighting the power of Rotaract in India and around the world.
Coppell Rotary proudly supports Rotary International programs at every age and stage. Three members of the 2023–24 Interact Club—Elise Howell, Mihir Kabbur, and Kushal Kantharaju—continue to stay connected with our club, their Interact peers, and their communities, living out the true Spirit of Rotary.
Through Youth Service, one of Rotary’s five Avenues of Service, we are dedicated to inspiring and empowering future generations to lead with purpose.

The last couple of months have been busy with the Coppell Rotary Flag Program, CHS & New Tech Scholarship Winner, Visits to International Rotary Clubs, RYLA Leadership Camp, Installation of President and Officers, 4 Way Test Speech Contest and Interact Club.
The Coppell Rotary Club is migrating to a new flag management system this year and consequently will be using a different credit card payment vendor. The new system provides you with some new options including:
1. Access to your own account
2. Easier online credit card payment
3. Recurring subscription (optional)
4. Opt in/out communications
For customers who are signed up for a recurring subscription through PayPal, this means that all PayPal accounts will be cancelled, and you will receive an invoice when your next payment is due. Many of the PayPal subscriptions are already paid through December 2025, so you will not receive an invoice until 2026. All other customers whose lease was up in December 2024 will receive an invoice by email, or regular mail if we do not have an email address on file for you.
We will continue to offer other payment options through Zelle and by check.
The Rotary Club of Coppell will hold it's 3rd Annual 4 Way Test Speech Contest on March 21st at The Cozby Library in Coppell.

The Coppell Rotary Club has partnered with the Msasa Rotary Club to provide water to schools in Zimbabwe. The Catholic diocese has built an elementary and high school in this remote suburb of Harare in Zimbabwe. The municipal water supply does not reach this region. The need is for a bore hole, well and pump to be supplied so the students will be able to attend school and the teachers can have clean water. The project will also provide clean water to the community so they wont have to go to ponds and springs, sharing the water with the wildlife, standing in long queue's and being harassed by others trying to control access to water.

Three kilos means Paris now weighs about 6 pounds.
