International Women's Day

Here are photos of the March 8 District 5870 International Women's Day project to clean up the park at the Families In Crisis Center.  Sixteen women and a few male helpers from 9 Rotary Clubs, including Temple, Temple South, and South Austin, spent 3 hours transforming an unattractive park into a place that abused mothers and their children could enjoy.  The staff at the facility were amazed and grateful.  The Rotarians had a wonderful time making a difference in the lives of these brave women who risk so much just to be safe from abuse.

 

Of course, Rotarians ended the day in true Rotarian style--EATING, DRINKING and FELLOWSHIP.  Bill and Lynda Stokes, Grady and Germaine Brown, Al Newby, District Governor Gene Holiman, Assistant District Governor Pat Johnson and Ken Johnson, and a host of other Rotarians joined in celebrating a day of service at Wine Blends Bar in Belton.  Kat Kaliski, owner of Wine Blends Bar has visited the Temple Club and RAW.  Hopefully she will find a home in Rotary.
