How are you SERVING?

October was a blur and we have already started a very busy November! South Tyler Rotary was honored to be the host site of the Rotary District 5830 Fall District Training Assembly on Saturday, November 2 at First Christian Church, Tyler. Approximately 65 District 5830 Rotarians attended the full day of planning, discussions, discussions and networking; STR proudly had 12 members present! 

A special thanks to Dalton Dickerson, STR Service Director, for organizing and leading our “adopt a park clean up” of Bergfeld Park on October 28. STR started cleaning Bergfeld Park on a quarterly basis almost two years ago. A large variety of STR members have taken the time to serve our community by cleaning the very popular Tyler park location, which also includes the Rotary splash pad.

During the remaining months of 2019 and the early part of 2020, STR will continue to find ways to serve the greater Tyler community with the upcoming Christmas Parade on December 5, bike build on December 12, Salvation Army bell ringers during December, planned Blood Drives, and quarterly park clean-up projects. Please remember, we ALL CAN SERVE MORE by strongly supporting, and participating in our 2020 Spaghetti Supper Drive; we need to raise more money in order to serve our community even more!

Thanks once again to the volunteers GREETING visitors, area Rotarians, and our own members each week. STR continues to grow in membership because of our commitment to SERVE. Please use the weekly meeting time to meet new friends, learn more about each other, and to help make everyone feel welcome at our STR meetings.

Thanks for all you do for STR and the greater Tyler Community.

Jeff W. Johnston
President, STR 2019-2020

 

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Rich Davis

Rich’s number one passion, most difficult and rewarding job has been raising three great children. James and Megan attend Iowa State University (GO CYCLONES!). James graduates in December with a Mechanical Engineering degree, and Megan is a sophomore in PreMed. Timothy is an 8th grader at Three Lakes Middle School. Rich has been married to Ruth for 27 years, and if you meet her, you will defiantly know he “married up.”

Aside from family, Rich works at A4 Media, an international company that helps grow and market businesses from small to large. He has been with the company for 23 years and six name changes.

In his spare time, Rich likes to run, cycle and all things aviation and, of course, follow his Iowa State Cyclones. He is a private pilot, though not active. He says, “If God had meant for me to fly, He would have given me more money”.

Rich has been a Rotarian since 1992, and if you were paying attention, he became a Rotarian the year he married. He has served in most positions with the exception of treasurer, and is a past-president of this club.

A favorite Davis family tradition revolves around Rotary. From delivering “Christmas” with other clubs, to putting together bikes in this club, Rich’s children have always been involved in Rotary events at Christmastime.

Rich is a former member of the Board of Directors of the Boys and Girls Club of East Texas and is currently serving on the Allocations Committee for United Way.

Thank you, Rich, for serving our community!
