President's Comments
It's hard to believe that we're already to the month of May. We've accomplished many great things over the last 10 months. With 2 months left, let's focus on ending this Rotary year strong!
 
We need your help with this year's Spaghetti Supper. President Elect Beth Blaisdell and her planning committee are working hard to put together this year's event. We're now less than 20 days away and are far from meeting our fundraising goal. Please solicit sponsors and make a personal donation. Don't forget we'll need all hands on deck on May 20th.
 
Summing up the month of May:
May the Fourth be with you.... (sorry, couldn't resist)
Enjoy a margarita or two on Cinco de Mayo
Volunteer with Rotarians to paint a PATH Community Home May 8th
Celebrate all mothers on May 9th
Serve the community on May 20th with the Reed Franklin Spaghetti Supper
Save lives with a blood donation on May 24th
Honor the men and women who died while serving the US Military on Memorial Day (5/31)
Support The Rotary Foundation with a contribution and earn matching points (all month)
 
Here's to a fabulous May!

Spaghetti Supper - May 20 - WE NEED YOUR HELP! 

President Elect and Spaghetti Supper Chair Beth Blaisdell has set a goal of raising $60,000 with this year's May 20 event. It takes all of us working together to meet or exceed that goal! How can you help?

  • Other people's money (i.e. solicit donors) - Ask business associates, your employer or friends to sponsor the event. Visit our Spaghetti Supper page to download the sponsor letter and invoice.
  • Foundations - Do you serve on the board of a foundation? Stephen Horlander is submitting grant proposals on behalf of South Tyler Rotary Foundation. Let Stephen or Beth know if you serve on one of these foundations.
  • Personal donation - We encourage all members to make a personal donation to the Spaghetti Supper. Beth's challenge is for each member to donate a minimum of $100. You can bring checks to our meetings or we are set up with a square device for credit cards. We hope to have a Venmo option in the very near future.

PATH Community Homes Work Day - May 8th 8:30-12

Join us Saturday, May 8th for a work day at one of PATH's Community Homes. PATH owns/rents out 52 properties to low income individuals and families getting back on their feet. South Tyler Rotary members will assist at a vacant home to make it ready for the next tenant. Make ready can involve everything from painting, cleaning, replacing flooring, hanging blinds and light fixtures, to cleaning up outside. We recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting dirty or paint on. Location to be announced a few days before the event. Please sign up at one of our meetings or reach out to Chris Ivey or Kelly Williams to sign up.
