Austin Wright - Serial Entrepreneurship
 
 
 
Please join us on Friday, September 1, as we hear a vocational presentation from Austin Wright!
"TSR member, serial entrepreneur, stand-up comedian, technologist, innovator, ED 501c3, dad, husband, he’s actually just a dude from Topeka; it might be a good week to hit that snooze button and get an extra hour of REM sleep, or perhaps come eat some free breakfast and let him lull you back to sleep on a full tummy: Austin Evan Wright.
Small pillows are allowed, but no blankets (PG13)."
 
This week's meeting will be held in person at Washburn University Memorial Union in the Kansas Room. Click here for directions using Google Maps.
 
Announcements will begin promptly at 7:45 am, with breakfast and coffee being served at 7:30 am!
 
Lunch Bunch - Sept 6
 
Happy New Lunch Bunch Year!
 
Now that all the kids and teachers have gotten into their routines, it is time to get Lunch Bunch started again. Our first Lunch Bunch will be Wednesday, September 6th. 
 
Please see the attached flier for details. Here is some additional information not included in the flier:
Once you have located the main entrance, you will be buzzed through a set of outer doors. Once inside, go up the stairs to be buzzed through a second set of doors. The school office will be immediately to your right. You will sign in on a volunteer sheet so the office will know who is in the building. We will be using a classroom this year instead of the library. The office secretary will know which class we will be using that day.
 
If you are a new TSR member, the flier provides an explanation of what the volunteers do. For anyone who has never tried this program, we would love to have you.  If you have previously volunteered for Lunch Bunch, thank you so much and I hope you can join us again this year.  If your schedule does not permit you to volunteer in-person at the school, you are always welcome to help by donating books, especially 2nd-5th grade levels.
 
My contact information is on the flier. Please let me know if you can join us in September.

Membership Invoice Preferences
Snail mail no more? How to keep email marketing relevant
 
Based on the feedback from this year's Fireside Chats, it appears that the majority of members would prefer to receive their membership dues invoice via email instead of snail mail. Please send a message to Candy Williams to let her know which option works best for you!
 
Candy's Email Address: candyosu1@cox.net
 
Prayer and Moment of Reflection
Prayer and Pledge | Rotary Club of Kerrville
 
We are requesting volunteers to lead the pledge of allegiance at our upcoming meeting. This would also include a brief moment of reflection, inspirational quote, Rotary moment/fact, prayer, words of wisdom, etc. 
 
Please contact Bob Carmichael if you would be willing to help us out!
