Today we award a $1,000 grant to Mosaic Counseling Centers of East Texas, with Lance Bolay, Director of Mission Impact accepting the check..  The grant will help support Mosaic's mission of serving mental health needs across East Texas.  

Sponsoring Rotary is Mosaic Board Member Tom DeWitt

Michael Hurley is very organized and excited about all things RYLA!  We will have some of the 2021 campers attend our meeting on January 24th, to share their experience from the virtual camp.  If you would like to cover the cost of the lunch meal for a camper or their parent, please do so when you pay for your own meal on the 24th. 

RYLA camp for 2022 is approaching quickly - February 11 - 13 - and we need a couple of volunteers with large SUVs to transport campers to the camp location which is just outside of Athens.  If you are able to deliver and pick up a group of campers, that would be ideal, but if you can only participate on one of the days, that will be VERY much appreciated!

Monday, February 14th, we are inviting you to bring your spouse, significant other, or anyone you choose, as your Valentine's lunch guest.  Please reply to this bulletin email if you plan to attend and bring a guest.  We will also pass around a sign-up sheet at the meeting so that Jim can plan the meal count.  We look forward to seeing you on the 14th!   

Please check your email for a message from Tom Seale with a link to pay your dues electronically.  If you prefer, you can write a check and bring to the meeting, or mail to PO Box 7153, Tyler TX 75711.  You can also pay by credit card at the meeting, $150 for six months, $300 for the full year

Our next service opportunity is the East Texas Food Bank on February 10th at 5:30. We have 15 volunteers on the sign up sheet - we will pass it around again this week.   

 

Tasty Tuesday  is scheduled for February 15th.  Please let Jeff Cummings know if you have a favorite spot to meet and we will add that to the calendar!

 

Reed Franklin Spaghetti Supper is tentatively scheduled for April 21st.  President Elect Chris McLarry and PE Nominee Brandie Henderson will be leading the organization of this event with a goal of hosting our traditional on-site dinner and also bring back our community meal service from 2021.  Watch for details and get excited to join us for this great event!
