The Rotary Parades of Plano is a collaborative effort between the six Rotary Clubs of Plano, Plano Independent School District and the City of Plano. Jointly, we bring the community together through the joy and celebration of our annual parades.
 
We will host a vibrant Holiday Parade, creating unforgettable memories and fostering a strong sense of community. Our mission for the parades is to give back to the members of Plano by providing fun, inclusive, and family-friendly events that everyone can enjoy.

Samaritan Inn is a comprehensive homeless program that helps willing people gain dignity and independence. Plano Metro Rotary Club has partnered with the Samaritan Inn for many years, from serving meals to people who are homeless, to furnishing apartments to those who graduate from the program. We joined in serving dinner 100 people at Samaritan Inn on Sunday, September 15th, from 5:30 -7:30.  Our club paid $500 for the cost of the meal.

 St. Timothy Christian Academy exists to support families and educate students with learning differences in grades K-12 in a redemptive Christian environment, helping them realize their full potential as a child of God. Located in Prestonwood Baptist Church, certified teaching professionals provide

a multi-sensory learning environment in all core classes, as well as Bible, Art, technology, and adaptive P.E. classes. Social skills are an integral part of the educational program. Our staff incorporates social skills instruction in all that we do.

As the Director of Development for St. Timothy's, Kathy Lousignont has a passion for teaching and students - especially students who are often overlooked in many classrooms. Her journey as an educator started as a parent, when she spent numerous volunteer hours in Kentucky serving on School Based Decision-Making Councils, being active in my children’s PTA organizations, and serving on district- and state-wide committees.
