Longview-Greggton Rotarians,
We had a great meeting last week at the Longview Child Development Center. Executive Director LaToyia Hawkins and crew had a great spread for us, and we got a chance to see the Learning Lab, which was set to open this week for parents and teachers there. Parents with children at the center must be working 30 hours or more per week, be enrolled in a job training program or be a full-time student. The lab will be available to help parents fulfill those requirements, including providing online learning opportunities.
There’s a small (I thought I had more pull than that!) item in the Longview News-Journal today about the lab.
Here’s a plaque they presented to us during the visit:
Donna Koerner is looking for some folding chairs for our Christmas party Friday, Dec. 14, at the Tubbs’ home. If you have access to some folding chairs we could use, please contact her or me to let us know.
Our shift ringing the bell for the Salvation Army is this Saturday. We’ll be there from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Here’s the schedule:
- 9 a.m.: Colt Edwards, Doug Barnard
- 10 a.m.: John Jetter, Scott Brunner
- 11 a.m.: Gene Robertson, Troy Murrain
- noon: Tyler Rainer, Karen Maines
I’ve had at least one other club member ask about times. If you’d like to help, you’re welcome to stop by. The more the merrier!
Congratulations to club member Mary Ann Miller’s son, Brady who is one of ten Longview Lobos honored on the Texas High School Coaches Association’s Academic All-State Team released this week. Brady picked up first-team honors!
It is Angela Daughtry’s week to lead us in the song, pledge, prayer and 4-Way Test, and it is Dionne Lott’s week to provide the prize for Rusty’s Raffle.
We will have our annual business meeting on Friday, which should be relatively short. Then, we will hear live music from the Pine Tree choir.
I’ll see you there.
In service,
Scott
