During the summer break from school, Feed our Kids provides lunches for childern whose families are eligible for their children to recieve lunch at school for free when the school is in session. During the summer break in Southlake, the Feed our Kids program organized by Grace Grapevine, fills that need through community volunteers and donations.

On average, they serve 1,500 people per month who call to speak with a trained, caring counselor. They also offer a support group program for families and friends who have lost a loved one to suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. You are not alone.

Kudos and enormous thanks to the Southlake Rotarians who participated in the annual Salvation Army’s β€œKettle Campaign,”/bell ringing on December 16th!  The ringing bell represents the sound of curing hunger, the sound of Christmas to a child in need, the sound of a safe place for our neighbors to sleep.
 
 
Southlake Rotarians & Salvation Army Kettle Campaign
 
Last year, the Rotary Club of Southlake raised more money than any other kettle in Tarrant County! The Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign has been a Christmas tradition since 1891. Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee set out a kettle to raise funds to feed the hungry in San Francisco. Now, The Salvation Army and Red Kettles can be found all over the world. The Red Kettle Campaign β€” which runs from Thanksgiving to Christmas β€” typically accounts for about one-third of the total amount of money raised by the Salvation Army in an entire year.
 
For those who have a volunteer heart, you can also be a bell ringer from home! If you go to virtualredkettlentx.org, you can host a virtual kettle and share across social media to raise money. Alternatively, you can donate at the Salvation Army website at: https://give.salvationarmyusa.org/give
 
Thank you, Southlake Rotarians, for helping put this great team of volunteers together and helping the Salvation Army meet the needs of our community, providing the sound of help, hope, and comfort to our neighbors when they need it most during the holidays and beyond.

This month our Southlake Rotary Club Business Spotlight is Texas Regional Bank.  
 
 
Texas Regional Bank (TRB) is new to Southlake. However, it emerged in the Rio Grande Valley in 2008 after four businessmen realized that their community was missing the personal touch of a community bank. The bank's mission is to Be β€˜The people you know’ in the communities we serve. 
 
The Southlake Rotary Club recognizes local businesses that emulate Rotary's mission of providing service to others, promoting integrety, advancing world understanding, goodwill and peace through the fellowship of business, professional and community leaders.
The Guatemala Literacy Project has been described by for RI President Ian Riseley as the Gold Standard of Rotary Projects.
 
The Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP) is one of the largest grassroots, multi-club, multi-district projects in Rotary. More than 800 clubs and 90 districts have been working together since 1997 to improve education for underserved students in Guatemala. In that time, more than 278,000 students have been served through four sustainable programs that are tested and proven to work. In 2017, then-RI President Ian Riseley called the GLP β€œthe gold standard of Rotary projects” for its sustainability and impact.
 
 
The GRACE Feed Our Kids summer lunch program provides lunches for children who live in predominantly lower-income housing locations.
 
 
Most of the children quality for free and reduced lunches during the school year.  Summer lunches are provided daily by churches, businesses, friends, and civic organizations at 6 sites throughout Grapevine.  In 2022 we closed up the final cooler at  GRACE main location and served 100 lunches.  In total, 30,331 lunches were served in 2022!
 
As in the past, this summer, the Southlake Rotary Club will be supporting Grace Feed Our Kids through its volunteer efforts August 11th at Grace Main St and on November 4th at the 2023 Grace Gala. One of our members, Alan Fisher, works for Texas Regional Bank.   They have agreed to partner with us by sponsoring the project by providing Southlake RC with a $500 sponsorship and water bottles.  The funds will be used to cover hotdogs, fruit, chips, juice boxes and a treats for 120 kids.

Early in the 4th quarter of the year, those clubs reported their year-to-date status of their vibrant club goals. 
 
Lisa Harrow, Realtor from RE/Max Trinity was appointed club secretary.
 
Lisa is a graduate of the University of Califoria, Los Angles and has also attended UC at San Diago. She has a passion for voluteering known in the community for her work in behalf of Davids Cure and Cruise for Hope. Her passion for volunteering led her to join us at the Southlake Rotary Club.

Effective February 10, 2023 the Southlake Rotary Club will be hosting their weekly meetings at the White Chapel Methodist Church in Southlake.
 
 
While we are extremely grateful to the Harbor Chase of Southlake for allowing us to host our meetings at their facility, we are looking forward to hosting our weekly meetings at White Chapel Methodist Church as the club continues to grow. Same great meetings with the great speakers and a wonderful lunch. We look forward to seeing everyone in our new digs.
Kudos and enormous thanks to the Southlake Rotarians who participated in the annual Salvation Army’s β€œKettle Campaign,”/bell ringing on December 3rd!
 
 
 
 
 
The kids also loved that Santa Claus, who also happens to be a member of our Rotary Club, appeared in front of Hobby Lobby in Southlake!
 
The Red Kettle Campaign β€” which runs from Thanksgiving to Christmas β€” typically accounts for about one-third of the total amount of money raised by the Salvation Army in an entire year.

The funds raised will all go to help us support several organizations this season.  This year we were blessed to have everything covered by sponsors. Our club is so blessed to have Santa as a member.  He graciously donated his time to both the programs.
