I’m so proud to be a Rotarian. So proud to be connected to such a positive force for good in the world. So proud to be the president of the Rotary Club of Palestine. This year the Rotary Club of Palestine will strengthen our already deep bond and compassion for our community. We are dedicated as Rotarians to serve our community and its citizens.

As we embark on this new rotary year 2020-2021 we are reminded by our President of Rotary International, Holger Knaack, that Rotary Opens Opportunities. “Rotary isn’t just a club for people to join, but rather an invitation to endless opportunities,” said Knaack. He emphasizes that Rotary creates pathways for members to improve their lives and the lives of those they help through service projects.

Think about it for a moment: we are a network of 1.2 million friends, neighbors, business associates and civic leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities, and to open opportunities through Rotary – locally, regionally. and internationally.

As Rotarians we are people of action. Together we can change the World though Service. Thank you for being a Rotarian, and thank you for your Service.

Yours in Rotary,

Rhonda Herrington

Being of Service

Bear Hugs - Satellite Club September Project

Providing a cuddly bear to a child who has been traumatized or abused can be comforting and our club is gathering new bears for this purpose. Jean Mollard is leading the project in association with "Blankets and Bears" non-profit. Our goal is to gather 50 brand new Bears, 25 Blankets and $1,000 cash for professional counseling for the children who have been traumatized. Thank you to PROSPERITY BANK for stepping up as a $1,000 sponsor for the project! Rotarian's are the leadership of our community and represent great companies such as Prosperity. We appreciate everyone's help with this project

Bears and items can be dropped off at The Redlands building located at 400 N Queen Street.
