Brazosport Rotary awarded its first ever Good Samaritan Award to Lucy Pendon.

The Good Samaritan Award will be an annual award given to a Rotarian that best exemplifies, “Service Above Self.”

This is the highest award our club can bestow on a member.

 

 

Although it may not seem like it, Shrimp Boil is rapidly approaching. We are now down to six weeks to the event. The clock is ticking, and I am asking that if you have not contacted any of your sponsors from last year, please do so this week. We have t-shirts to order, a sponsor board to make, and several other items, so please do not wait until the last minute. (I know it is a Rotary tradition to not do today what can be put off again tomorrow, but let's not hold too tightly to the past please).

 

Also, we have our apron sponsorships available, so if you are interested, or have a sponsor interested, please let me know in the next two weeks. The aprons have a substantial lead time as well.

 

Thank you everyone for all that you do. I greatly appreciate everyone's hard work.

For the first time in our club’s history, we made contact in person with our inbound student before the exchange year began.

Two weeks ago, Marcia and I were delighted to meet Karin Boman, our 2014 inbound student from Sweden, during a visit to Stockholm. The event was made even more memorable when two of our previous students joined us in a fika, Swedish for coffee and cake. Julia Jachym, our 2007 student from Poland, is earning a masters in management at the Stockholm School of Economics. Therese Broberg, our 1998 student from Sweden, works as a designer for H&M Stores and will become a mother in August. All of these young ladies are a credit to their countries.

 

Regards,

P.S. The site of the meeting was Stockholm’s famous floating restaurant, the Mälarpaviljongen.
