The Rotary Foundation
Sep. 25, 2020 12:00 p.m.
Rotarian Host: Lawrence Barris THE ROTARY FOUNDATION GEORGE YEITER About Geoege Yeiter: Why I Am A Rotarian
Some fail to understand my last statement. A man named Ernst Becker wrote a book back in the 70’s. His thoughts parallel my thoughts on part of what Rotary gives back to me. To paraphrase him: Men and Women want to know that their life has somehow counted, if not for themselves, then at least in a larger scheme of things, that their life has left a trace; a trace that has meaning. And for anything once alive to have meaning, its effects must remain alive in eternity in some way. Rotary is one of my vehicles for me to “leave a trace”. My life will “somehow have counted” and will continue to count for generations to come through Rotary. I like that, it has an appealing ring.

COMPOSTING
Oct. 09, 2020 12:00 p.m.
Founder, Happy Earth Composting Rotarian Host: Mary DeBauche https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obK3zAyEe_8 In 2019, I hit my tipping point when I realized my family was generating more than a bag of trash per day! This was after we separated out recycling. It hit me that if every family is doing the same, my three kids and future generations beyond them would be overwhelmed by trash. I set out to find a way to reduce our footprint. After some research, I discovered composting. This could provide the solution. After a couple of weeks of trying it at home, I quickly realized that I didn't want to do this on my own. I didn't have the time or the patience and I wanted to include as much as possible in the compost. For example, meat, dairy, and other products that are no-no's for home composting. I realized at this point, that if I was having this issue, there had to be others. After some research, my hunch was verified. So I set about looking for a commercial compost company to gauge interest in helping residential customers compost. New Earth Compost was extremely excited with the concept and agreed to help us implement this service. We are extremely excited to bring this service to Houston and I hope you will join us in making the Earth a little bit happier! |

HISTORY OF TEXAS RANGERS
Nov. 20, 2020 12:00 p.m.
Senior Vice President, Morgan Stanley Rotarian Host: Sheila Franklin TEXAS RANGERS Our organization is, like the selfless public servants we support, devoted to the promise of a Texas that is safe for all its citizens regardless of color, creed, gender or other distinctions. This fundamental premise of safety and fairness has few greater champions and defenders than the modern Texas Rangers, who are serving — and will continue to serve — all Texans ethically, professionally and lawfully. Recently, author Douglas Swanson published Cult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers, which delves into the nearly 200-year history of the Texas Rangers. In subsequent interviews, Mr. Swanson has noted the Rangers’ many contributions to the Lone Star State: “They helped pacify an extraordinarily wild and savage place — Texas. Criminals were rampant across frontier Texas. They helped bring them to justice. They were really valuable scouts and guerrilla fighters in the Mexican war … (they’ve) done some really good stuff … providing valuable service to small-town departments. They helped break the Texas Youth Commission sexual abuse scandal. They brought a murdering priest to justice. They’ve done extraordinarily strong work on cold cases. So, yes, they’ve done a lot. Texas would not be the same without them. There’s no doubt about that. And they are deeply woven into the history of the state.” Of course, Mr. Swanson’s book also presents allegations of excessive and abusive behavior involving past members of the Texas Rangers, including some we would dispute in the strongest terms. Texas, and indeed America, are very different places than they were 200 years ago, and the Texas Rangers have also evolved over the last two centuries to more fully embrace the noblest aspirations of human equality first articulated by our Founders. This essential journey continues. The Texas Rangers have both changed history, and changed with history, but one thing will not change: their bedrock commitment to doing their duty to the highest professional standards and upholding the universal principles of justice. https://www.thetexasrangers.org MIKE COOK Mike Cook graduated from Victoria High School in 1962, he attended Victoria Junior College for two years and then attended and graduated from Sam Houston State University in 1967 with a BBA.
