2020 Texas Independence Bike Tour

SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2020
 
The Texas Independence Bike Tour is a one day event bringing cyclists from the Houston area together to tour the San Jacinto Battleground and adjacent communities.  This event  brings the community and Texas history together and raises funds to support the Deer Park Rotary Club’s service and scholarship programs. This is a Recommended Ride.
 
IMPORTANT UPDATE
 
The Deer Park Rotary Club is monitoring the latest developments of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and we are taking proactive steps to protect our event participants and the volunteer staff that makes this event possible.  Based on recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we will be postponing the 2020 Texas Independence Bike Tour.  We will announce a new event date that will take place this Fall. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Deer Park Rotary Service Projects

Making a Difference In Our Community
Rotarians motto is "Service Above Self." Living this motto was apparent in a recent service project, where Rotarians, spouses and children worked at Dow Park to update several areas. New netting was place on the tennis court fences and mulch was spread in several areas to be enjoyed by citizens all summer long.  Other service projects include working on Habitat for Humanity, Ella and Friends Dog Park, Living Water International, school beautification projects, walking tracks in city parks and many other community projects.
