Dear Fellow Rotarians,
For those of you who were unable to attend our Club Assembly (myself included), attached is the link to the Zoom meeting so you can apprise yourself of important information for upcoming events, projects, budget, Foundation, District news and membership:
|
In Summary:
Jon Glover brought along the Freedom Hospice's recipe book, which is a great gifting idea for those who wish to avoid shopping and enduring long lines --- and possible COVID exposure. Freedom Hospice has published a wonderful cookbook full of 503 family recipes from staff, patient families, volunteers and friends of the agency. It is beautifully bound and will make a great gift for anyone who enjoys good and home-style recipes! The proceeds from sales will go to provide last wishes as well as other extras for our patients and their families! So you will actually be giving 2 gifts with each purchase – one for your recipient and one that will positively impact the life of terminally ill patients! PLEASE see the attached flyer for more information. Jon says they are also accepting payment via Venmo and says he is happy to deliver them to club meetings, deliver them to your home or office, or if you prefer, ship them to you or your recipients (for a shipping charge). Please share the attachment with your email contacts, networks and FB friends.
Sean reported that we still have a few slots left for the Salvation Army Bell Ringing at Kroger in Southlake for 12/5/2020 and 12/12/2020. For those of you who have not yet signed up, please email Sean to see what slots need filled. Arlin reports there will be fines for those who haven't signed up yet (LOL).
Sean also delivered a summary on status of the Dictionary project, which we expect to revisit in January once the kids return to school.
John reminded members of the Paul Harris Foundation matching contribution opportunity which ends at the end of January.
John also provided a DPS sponsorship packet so we can all do our part in targeting past sponsors and new sponsors --- to raise scholarship money for the college-bound children of our police officers/firefighters. We currently have $3,150 in DPS sponsorships and would like to match the $16,000 we raised last year. Jim Giffin later reported that Pieter Andres is on board for a $5,000 donation, although it was not clarified whether that if for a DPS sponsorship or other projects. (Jim?). John will be sending out an email with the DPS sponsorship packet so we can all take advantage of getting out there and raising some money.
Dan reported our current membership at 24, down from 28 last year with no new members! This is a call to RECRUIT, members!
Dan also reported on the state of our budget in which we will apparently break even as of the end of year. As of today, we are meeting back at Timarron, our home base! Our Club is currently charged for 18 Timarron meals at $18.75/meal. This week only 9 of our members attended so our Club will eat the difference --- (forgive the pun) --- in the meantime until it can be discussed at our next Board Meeting. Please remember that all members are invited to attend our Board Meetings to provide input! The Club also discussed boxing up any leftovers to be delivered to our fire department, as Sue used to do.
Jim reported on the District/RI, announcing that all in-person RI meetings have been cancelled and that all meetings are being conducted virtually. He also announced that the District has some money left and that Jan 31, 2021 is the deadline for submitting scholarship/project grant applications within our District. We will continue our push for our scholar, Abby Shaw, in her international studies.
Arlin reported on the “Coat Drive” initiative (aka “Toasty Toes”) that we are undertaking with the Trophy Club Rotary Club. We need new or gently used/washed coats, hats, scarves, socks, mittens, gloves, sweaters, sleeping bags, blankets, heated glove/sock inserts that will be distributed to the Presbyterian Night Shelter on Jan. 10th.
Arlin will be sending an email to Club Members regarding the various drop-off points for making such donations, to include Sean’s office, John’s office, among other places. Arlin also made a SHOUT OUT to all members, requesting they like/share/comment on all Club postings on our website, FB page, and other pages, to grow our audience and have more of an impact.

While we should do all we can to avoid COVID, we also need to stay engaged in our communities, continue to safely gather for important projects and offer any help we can provide to those in need.
Let’s make the rest of this year and 2021 the BEST YET! #rotaryopensopportunities #rotaryconnectstheworld #wearerotary #peopleofaction #southlakerotaryclub #DPSAppreciationDay
