This week, it is a privilege to welcome District 5910 Governor for 2015-16 to our club meeting. She will visit every club in the District within the next few months, delivering the message from the Rotary International President, "Be a Gift to the World."
Governor Doris became a Rotarian in the Rotary Club of Conroe, serving in a number of capacities including President. In 2009, she joined the Rotary Club of Lake Conroe and served also as president of that club. Doris served two consecutive terms as an Assistant Governor.
Governor Doris Lockey is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow, Benefactor, a member of the District 5910 Role of Fame and has perfect attendance for each year of her Rotary membership.
After Governor Doris motivates and inspires you to "Be a Gift," President Pat Anderson and some of the Board members will share some of the ways in which you can be involved during the 2015-16 Rotary year and seek your support with the year's projects and plans.
Come prepared to be excited and ready to get engaged!

Garden Fence Project at Nutrition & Services Underway!
And it has begun!
Week One was successfully completed! The crew of volunteers installed the fence posts and the fence structure was leveled and cemented.
Chair Craig Lively expresses his heartfelt thanks to our club for the work they did this past Saturday building the fence for Nutrition and Services! The turnout was wonderful and the hard work results were obvious! Moreover, it passed the 5th question of the Four-Way Test: "Is it fun?" Indeed, it was fun!
At RotaryGrams press time, there is no confirmation as to when the next workday will be. Watch for announcements.
The location is 4590 Concord Rd, across from the Village Shopping Center.
Plan to bring WATER, work gloves, a hat, sunscreen, and a power screwdriver if you have one.
That's right! It might have not been the thing to do in elementary school but now we WANT you to tell on your friends! Tell us of their accomplishments and recognition so we can share that with Rotary friends too.
Moreover, tell us of ways you and your friends are being of service within the community so we can spread information of the many places where Rotarians can give "Service Above Self" in a non-club project. Knowing of a fellow Rotarian giving of their time and talents prompts another to know it is a good way to get involved too.
Malcolm Bales is a former FBI agent and current U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas. This area covers the eastern portion of the state reaching from Beaumont to Texarkana and includes around 5,000,000 people. Interestingly, Bogota, Columbia is also included in the Eastern District and the reasoning is to be able to fight the crime (primarily drug related) at the source rather than waiting for it to come to Texas.
Areas of work include securities fraud, healthcare violations, and even BISD. The two main types of criminal cases that the U.S. Attorneys work are:
REACTIVE – the crime is already committed and law enforcement tries to solve the case. These usually include murder, stolen cars, etc.
PROACTIVE – law enforcement works proactively to stop crime before it happens. This work requires undercover personnel, confidential informants, and wiretaps to successfully bring criminals to trial.
Malcolm Bales was grateful for the hard work that the Beaumont Police do each day in maintaining peace in our community. He also challenged all police nationwide to do a better job of bridging the gap between law enforcement and the communities they serve. This is not because they are doing a bad job but because they are already doing a great job and can always strive for better.
