I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend and that the much-needed rain didn’t dampen your plans.
 
We had a good group Friday of those who were able to make it to GZ’s for lunch. Thanks, Ingrid, for organizing that.
 
Our club got a little recognition in the most recent Rotary District 5830 newsletter. The item was about our recent check presentations for funds raised at the Longview PRCA Rodeo in April. It’s nice to get some recognition at the district level.
 
This past week, Tim Lewis met with our Interact officers and the sponsor at Pine Tree ExCEL High School. Our numbers are few to begin the school year, so the focus is on spreading the word and attracting some new young people to join.
 
Remember: Tickets are on sale for our upcoming concert fundraiser featuring Amy Grant. We’re hoping it sells out. So, get yours early, if you are planning to go. Don’t forget to be looking for opportunities to sell a sponsorship. That’s money the club keeps and gets to put back into the community.
At this week’s meeting, we’ll hear from KLTV Program Manager Pat Stacey as our program.
 
It is Mike Bishop’s week to lead us in the song/pledge/prayer and 4-Way Test, and it is John Green’s week to bring the prize for Rusty’s Raffle.
 
The menu for Friday is sliced ham, black-eyed peas and sweet potato patties. See you there.
 
Be the inspiration,
Scott
